REPORTING ON PUMPKINS AND GREECE

10/20/2015

Today we heard from our very first Reporter of the Week, DAVID! We learned what it means if you see a teal pumpkin when you are out and about trick-or-treating. David told us that a lot of kids have nut allergies these day. Some families have decided not to give out candy and instead will give out little treats like spider rings or other small Halloween toys. If you have a nut allergy be sure to look for one of these pumpkins.
