Pumpkins sparkled under bright sunny skies as each student selected his/her favorite to bring home. Students, their teachers and PTO volunteers were also treated to a ride on a 1941 McCormick Farmall tractor and wagon with traditional fall snacks of apple cider and apple cinnamon donuts.

Otisville PTO President Vincent Galligan added: “These events are made kids with pumpkinspossible through the support of our wonderful businesses and PTO families who support our work to provide additional educational programs and family activities. Otisville’s administration, faculty and staff are the best there is, and we’re proud to be partnering with them to give our children the best educational experiences we can.”
