The Great Pumpkin Patch!

Cove Creek School's 6th and 7th Grades are proud to present the will-be greatest pumpkin patch of the High Country. Dr. Leah Sherman, a parent at CCS, is leading the effort to grow some amazing pumpkins which will probably be available for purchasing in early September. Funds from the pumpkin sales will go towards the 6th and 7th Grade Space Camp trip in Hunsville, AL. There are many bright students in our community who might not be able to attend the camp trip without support from our school families and friends, and we are excited that a great group of parents and teachers are making this fundraiser possible.

The pumpkin patch is next to the Hensons Chapel Church and the CCS community would like to thank Brian and Katherine Cornell for their generosity in loaning out this patch of land for the cause. In addition to the Sherman and Cornell families, Carla Parker, Bertha Wilson, Amy Lang and Brenda Isaacs' families also helped with the grooming of the land and seed planting.  A big shout out to all of them!

Ms. Brenda Hicks stopped by the patch this week and reported that the patch survived the big wind storm and that she "found it doing remarkably well." She send along the photo above.

More updates on the pumpkin patch coming up and information about how you can get your hands on this Fall staple and support a great cause.
