Good witch Marsha Osier kept her tradition of visiting the Kindergarten class today as a mystery reader. This is her 7th year visiting to read fun stories and she also brought goodie bags with delicious cookies and a Halloween pencil for each student. She read "The Little Old Lady who was not Afraid of Anything" and "Ten Timid Ghosts."
The future of Gettysburg is in great hands! Thank you to Kim and Gregg with The Humanity Launch for leading us through the conversation of how we can support and build up the community of Gettysburg. Thanks to the FCCLA members who provided childcare, the Gettysburg School Staff for providing refreshments, and the VFW for sponsoring the speakers!
