Happy Diwali! Diwali is India's biggest and most important holiday of the year. The festival gets its name from the row (avali) of clay lamps (deepa) that Indians light outside their homes to symbolize the inner light that protects from spiritual darkness. #pcssdproud #serveall
The KinderCrew didn't make it to the Pumpkin Patch 2 weeks ago. The rain showed up so we had to "Monitor & Adjust." Needless to say our Kinder Friends were so disappointed 😞 but they were ALL SMILES yesterday when the Pumpkin Patch arrived at Baker!! 🧡 #TheWonderfulWorldOfKindergarten😊 #BakerRocks 🐎 💙 💛
