Fun Facts About The Pumpkin!
1. Pumpkins contain potassium and Vitamin A.
2. Pumpkin flowers are edible.

4. In early colonial times, pumpkins were used as an ingredient for the crust of pies, not the filling.
5. Pumpkins were once recommended for removing freckles and curing snake bites.
6. The largest pumpkin ever grown weighed 1,140 pounds.
7. Pumpkins are 90 percent water.
8. Eighty percent of the pumpkin supply in the United States is available in October.
9. Native Americans flattened strips of pumpkins, dried them and made mats.
10. Native Americans used pumpkin seeds for food and medicine

The Library Gets Some Love!

If you happen to be at the school stop in the Library and see the new carpet! Over the summer PTO funds paid for carpet installation in the Library. We snapped a few pictures during the process and you can see that it was in need of replacement.

The new carpet gives the room a bright and cheery feel, perfect for starting off this year the right way!

Back to School 2010-11

School is in full swing as we all know! Thanks to all the parents, teachers and staff for getting the year off smoothly. PTO started the year off with some treats left in the staff mailboxes. We are so 'fortunate' to have a great staff at Wilson!
