Four highlights of the week:

2.  Computers and chromebooks had heavy usage, as students tackled an increased level of homework assignments.
3.  New tutors and new mentors were eagerly welcomed by young people.
4.  Weather brought us both hot chocolate and popsicle days -
always favorites!!

Helpful tip for the week
2025 Tip #40


An Easy Way to Decorate Your Pumpkin
Without a Sharp Object

[Better Homes & Garden]



No Carve Pumpkins are Great for All Ages!!
  1. Choose cone-shaped pumpkins and clean their surfaces. Then, spray-paint the pumpkins in an ombre style to achieve the candy corn look. (Cover the stem with painter's tape to keep if free of paint.)
  2. Princesses can pick a paint color palette -- like the white, gold or rosy pink -- and use a paint brush to make "Cinderella" princess pumpkins and add a tiara or ribbons for the "princess" touch; while princes can use a brush with colors such as blue, red, and black paint to create their own personalized Spiderman pumpkin (a black 'sharpie' marker is great for detail).
