HOMESTEAD SCHOOL NEWS

October was a fun and exciting month for our Homestead students! The children had a blast smiling at picture day, learning on field trips, celebrating friendship at Unity Day and marching in the Halloween Storybook Character parade. Thank you to all of our incredible parent volunteers who made this jam-packed month a success.  The upcoming month and holiday season have many wonderful events in store!
