October 23, 2017 - Sierra Foothill Charter School students in grades transitional kindergarten through second had a wonderful time at Hunter Farms pumpkin patch in Atwater on Thursday, October 12, 2017. In addition to getting pumpkins, they learned about the plant life cycle, planted corn seeds, jumped on a bouncy pillow, climbed hay pyramids, rode a train through time - seeing dinosaurs, a Native American Sioux tribe, and the old west - and more.

The field trip was educational and fun. SFCS students enjoyed all Hunter Farms had to offer and look forward to returning another time.
