Harvest carnivals brought copious amounts of fall fun last week at the elementary schools in Newman. Hunt Elementary held a family pumpkin decorating contest in addition to games and raffle prizes. Barry the Eagle was "thrilled" to dance with 5th Grader MK Rath at Barrington’s carnival on Friday evening. The Halloween buzz was palpable as families prepare for the upcoming holiday, getting an early taste of the fun at Bonita Elementary.
