Ask them how the old woman escaped from the animals (she rolled down the hill in a giant pumpkin) and the name of the magic tree (Uwungelema). Thanks to our 1st Grade CE coordinators, Morgan Freiman and Lauren Pond, for working with staff to bring this program to Loring! Your financial support of the PTO makes these programs possible.
