Pre-Covid the school where I work had field trips to a pumpkin patch nearby. During Covid all field trips were cancelled. This is the reason why Pumpkin Day was created! Hundreds of pumpkins are set up in a field and the classes all come out a few at a time. Each child chooses one pumpkin and then the class sits together to share a snack of apples and a cup of apple cider. Our school campus used to be a tree orchard so it is absolutely stunning with the fall foliage at this time of year.
Watching the children carefully picking out a pumpkin and then carry it back to their classroom is the sweetest thing ever.
This is the best day of the school year!
I hope the tradition returned after Covid. Some didn’t.
