To the Editor:

On behalf of the children and staff of Manahawkin Methodist Preschool, I would like to extend our grateful appreciation to the Thos. L. Shinn Funeral Home for providing 75 pumpkins to fill our pumpkin patch this year.

On Monday, Oct. 26 and Tuesday, Oct. 27 the children picked pumpkins and decorated them. Some classes used stickers to make vampires and cats and another class turned theirs into mummies.

The teachers also picked a pumpkin to use during their lessons.
