When it is
The official 2024 Great Apple Crunch will take place on Thursday, October 10 at 12 PM, but you can crunch any time in October.

The third grade students have been learning about honeybees and this week they got to see first hand how honey is extracted. We'd like to thank the Drechsel family for inviting us to their home to see how this process works and for letting us sample the delicious honey.
