Fall Fun at Turtle Lake

As we enter the month of October, we are gearing up to celebrate fall throughout the school in many different formats. Stay tuned to your teachers’ weekly updates to see what they have planned as each grade is doing different things and on different days potentially. The fall activities students enjoy at school will not involve costumes, so feel free to save those for family fun at home or in the community! Let's all celebrate the fall colors and cooler weather ahead!
