Cash for you and candy for the troops By Mary Mazur
NT SUN CORRESPONDENT
Winning Smiles Pediatric Dentistry is in preparation for their 8th annual candy buy-back program. On November 1st, the office will open its doors to families who got way too much Halloween candy
the night before. The office buys back the candy for a dollar a pound and also gives each child who comes a toothbrush and a chance to win a door prize. There is also fun entertainment at the office. Chuckles the clown is great at making balloon animals and there are of-
ten troops too to thank children for their donation. All the candy is then packed up and shipped courtesy of UPS to North Carolina.

Celebrating Johnny Appleseed The second graders at St. John the Baptist School in Kenmore were celebrating a fall favorite: Johnny Appleseed. Students wore red and brought in treats made with apples in honor of him. Second grader Lily Cook explains, “Johnny Appleseed was born on Sept. 26, 1774, so we’re celebrating his birthday. I read a story about him that said he traveled across the United States planting apple seeds wherever he went. He helped to plant apple trees in many states.” Second grade teacher Gina Morelli ensured
there were a variety of apple treats for students to sample. Apple slices dipped in sauces, mini-apple pies, and apple cider were just some of the many foods shared. Evan Richey passed his homemade apple muffins among his classmates, saying, “Johnny Appleseed went around sharing his apple seeds with many people. Thanks to him, I’m able to share my mom’s apple muffins with my friends today.” What a delicious way to celebrate the season.
