Thank you Mr. Umber and to your class for getting us into the Halloween Spirit!

Ms. Umber, Snow White and her 30 dwarfs, don't eat the apple Ms. Umber.

Here is Ms. Umber's class this year putting on a wonderful performance.

The Residents enjoy the concert the children put on for them, singing, and playing the piano. They were all so great!!!

Dean and Caroline are both getting a story read to them at the same time I hope they don't get their stories crossed.

June listens very closely to what is being read to her.

A Cheerleader reads a book to Mary.

Marilyn looks like she is enjoying her story by a bat.

San Carlos Elms Poet Celebrates Halloween in her own words

Halloween Path

That's the Elms, and I am a Resident

It's a large building on Elm and Cherry.

To show you- I won't be hesitant.

Front door opens to sad to merry.

Walk in through a large double door.

Up a wide an impressive path.

Which begins on Elm which has car galore.

To figure the size you need advanced math.

First you see a wooden bench to the left and to the right.

Say!There's Peter's bicycle.

It's a familiar sight.

But there are no little tricycles!

There is a big pair of orange and black boots.

The super long toes are pointed and curled.

Some one's Halloween boot--

covered with sparkles and pearls.

The other side has a large black ant.

It is scary and over a foot tall.

Oh, I'm beginning to pant.

Hang tight --I might fall.

The sides are lined with pumpkins and cornstalks.

About five on each side.

Some pumpkins have funny faces

who made these with pride?

Oh! There's a hay pile

With a darling stuffed couple on top

I would walk a mile to see their sunny smile.

It must be Halloween

To have all this.

From which to run and hide

but this all treat no trick.
