Fun Time Spent with Autumn Pointe Residents
The Introduction to Theatre and Communications classes enjoyed spending time with visitors from Autumn Pointe. The Theatre students did a great job presenting a dramatic reading of the “Spider and the Fly” by Mary Howitt and entertaining the Autumn Pointe residents with some theater games. The Communications students sharpened their presenting, conversing, and listening skills with more personal interactions with the residents. A wonderful time was had by all!

A Perfect Day for Apple Picking
Preschool took a field trip to Super Bee Orchard in Fort Calhoun. They had a great time picking different types of apples. The preschoolers also got to check out how the apples are cleaned, sorted and stored. While visiting the orchard, they got to walk inside the refrigerator where the apples are kept. It was a perfect day for apple picking!!
