This morning the Kindergarten class along with some fourth-grade helpers had to solve the case of The Pumpkin Pie Bandit. They had to complete each challenge to receive a clue and eliminate the suspects. In the end, the pirate was the bandit. Thank you Mrs. Harkrader for coming up with these fun activities, and thank you fourth-graders for being such great helpers today!
