It was wonderful to see so many of you at the Fall Festival! The chill and drizzle couldn't put a damper on our festivities - bouncing, eating, crafting, celebrating, and being together! A huge thank you to Bryn Manion, Amy Raddatz, and the many, many volunteers who made this night so amazing. We couldn't have done it without you! Thanks also to students and families for sharing their many talents, from baking to scarecrow building.
The Pumpkin Run takes off, under a dramatic sky!
If you have photos from the Fall Festival that you're willing to share, please send them to president@sapsamn.org

Dexter's Corner_______
Hi, everyone! Dexter here! Just wheeking in to say how much I love the fall... Hey, did you know that guinea pigs and humans (along with other primates) are unique among mammals in our need for dietary vitamin C? Most other animals who need vitamin C can make it in their bodies, but we have to eat it! Did you know that pumpkins are an excellent source of Vitamin C? Yum!
