Students from James A. Dever Elementary School recently took a field trip to Long Island Jewish Hospital, where they participated in a hands-on culinary demonstration featuring the art of pie-making and pumpkin carving. The event not only sparked creativity but also fostered meaningful interactions between students and hospital staff.

During the visit, students learned how to create delicious pumpkin and apple pies, guided by skilled chefs who shared tips and techniques that inspired young culinary enthusiasts. The highlight of the day was an exciting pumpkin carving demonstration, where students watched in awe as intricate designs came to life.

In addition to enjoying the sweet flavors of fall, students were allowed to vote for their favorite decorated pumpkin, fostering a sense of community and collaboration. This fun and interactive experience encouraged social interactions among students and staff, helping to build lasting relationships.

District officials said the visit to the hospital served as a reminder of the importance of community ties and the joy of learning beyond the classroom. It was a day filled with laughter.
