Homes for Class "Pets" Needed...
The Fantastic Fourth Grade are proud "parents" to 36 adorable pumpkin plants. We hope to grow these seedlings into massive pumpkin-bearing vines. However, these plants cannot survive a CTA winter break without constant nourishment and nurturing. We are looking for caring, nurturing winter break homes for our very special little pumpkins. If you are interested in being a foster-pumpkin-parent,please contact Miss Press before THURSDAY, DEC. 18. tpress@torahacademy.org 614-864-0299 ext. 247
Thank You!!
Thank You!!
