    We take our cameras behind the scenes to St. Adalbert’s School in South Bend to talk to Principal Andrew Currier. It’s a private Catholic school that has been around for many years and has evolved along with the neighborhood. Mr. Currier talks about the remarkable progress the students and teachers have made over the last couple of years in academic standards at the school, and how things have changed for the better academically for students. www.stadalbertschool.org

    We travel to Mathys Farm Market, just outside of South Bend on Crumstown Highway to see how things are shaping up as the Halloween season is winding down. They’re still offering hayrides in the pumpkin patch for a few more days, and plenty of kids and families are still playing in the playground and visiting the animals in the petting zoo. Gordy talks to John Mathys and Krista Mathys about what kind of harvest it’s been and what happens there after Halloween is over. http://www.matthysfarmmarket.com/
