The Peck  Family Farm is a family owned and operated maple sugar farm, pumpkin patch, and apple orchard located on Sibley Road.  While our apple trees are still too young for pick-your-own this year, we can provide our delicious, fresh-pressed apple cider when you come to get your pumpkins.  Our pumpkins are of several varieties that are great for seasonal decorating as well as carving.  We also feature a hand-built, fully functional pumpkin trebuchet for our rotten pumpkins.  Please "like" us on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/peckfamilyfarm. We look forward to seeing you all!

Checking out the woods

Dear Parents,

As you can see from out pictures, we have been exploring the woods and searching for all kinds of bugs.  Ask your child what he/she has discovered on our journeys.

We have also been sharing those great baby pictures and the origin of our names.  We will share them as they come to school and hang them up on our bulletin boards.

Parents have asked about picture day for the MWF group.  We will have our class photo and individual pictures on October 22nd which is also the school "retake day."

Another question that has come up is about the All School Hike.  PreK will have our own hikes and picnics in the woods around our school.  We are getting to love our "ourdoor classroom" and feel very comfortable on the trails.  

Some days to keep in mind:  Thursday, October 2nd - Open School Night and our tentative Family Fun Night at the Bair Farm on October 9th.  More details and confirmation will follow.
