Officer Whitehead described his favorite part of fall to be “the leaves changing color”.
Mr. Collins’ favorite autumnal aspect to be the “cinnamon earthy smell of leaves on the ground.”
He added that other enjoyable parts of the upcoming season the “cool nights, because I like sleeping in the cold” and he loves squash, a seasonal food.
Both Mrs. Baumgartner and Mrs. Woznicki agree on their love for everything pumpkin.
Mrs. Baumgartner said, “I love anything
related to pumpkin- the smell, the flavor, the orange colors.”
Ms. Woznicki, however, also favors fall because it’s when her birthday happens, which is today.
Students and staff also enjoy many of the activities Autumn has to offer. Mr. Kane, for example, likes to rake the newly fallen leaves and jump in the piles with his children. He also enjoys fall false albacore fishing.
Sophomores Avery Albanese and Ben Podeszwa agreed that their favorite parts of fall are the sports and “stuffing our faces at Thanksgiving.”
