To top off the perfect fall evening we will have specialty drinks from Koffee Time and fresh hot donuts from Delicious Bites for purchase.
Each class will be given a pumpkin to decorate the week prior to the bash. Class pumpkins will be on display at the bash and votes can be cast that night for the winning class pumpkin. The winning class will receive a pizza party provided by the HSA. We can’t wait to see you there. Questions please email- allyc@readingtonhsa.com
