Earth Day Celebration – A Waste Free Lunch |
|
SFMS will be celebrating Earth Day with a waste free lunch. As a middle school our goal will be to help reduce the amount of trash that goes into the landfill, and even work on reducing the amount of food that goes in the trash as well. This will be an entire school effort from the kitchen staff right to our students that we hope to continue after Earth Day. Menu for that day is Corn Dogs, not pre-boated (count out 6), mashed potatoes, gravy and carrots/ dip, watermelon/ mango and Dirt cake. There will not be extra containers to put ketchup and dip in. Just place the condiments on your tray with the food you’re using it on. Click here for a few ideas to help you pack your own waste free lunch.

SFMS ROCKS, both on the court and off. Whether a player, spectator, musician or someone else, everyone seemed to have a good time at this year’s annual student-staff basketball game.

Tar Wars |
|
School Nurse Mary Raml presented Tar Wars to the 5th grade classes. Tar Wars is a tobacco-free education program for kids from the American Academy of Family Physicians. Through a variety of fun activities the students learned about the high financial and health cost of using tobacco products. They learned that tobacco companies spend millions of dollars each day trying to get them hooked on tobacco and nicotine products. The students received parent information to take home.

Project-Based Learning Experience in READ 180 |
|
The READ 180 eighth graders are currently involved in a project-based learning experience. After completing their “Creatures of the Deep” workshop, collaborative teams chose topics to extend their learning while focusing on a specific audience. Some chosen audience members include: classroom teachers, instructional aides, related studies instructors and other classrooms. As students use Google Drive to create an infographics presentation, they are challenged when considering appropriate information, vocabulary, and images. Understanding their audience’s interests, background, and in some cases, personality is key to creating an effective presentation. Through this project-based learning experience, students will exercise 21st Century skills which include: Information Literacy, Media Literacy, Communication and Collaboration, and Critical Thinking and Problem Solving.

SNAC
|
|
We now have a middle school SNAC- Student Nutrition Advisory Committee. They have been meeting once a month from 2nd quarter on. These students have looked at ways to assist with input from students to kitchen, ways to improve services and food choices.
The SNAC recently did some testing with our New Seasoning Stations we have set up in each school. Students can add flavor to their vegetables, potatoes or whatever they would like without adding salt. The SNAC committee thought the number one seasoning was Garlic / Herb -it tasted great on all vegetables, rather like the seasoning on Sun Chips. Coming in number 2 was the Veggie Seasoning. It was also good on all the vegetables and had a little dill taste. It was felt that Mrs. Dash was a little strong. The boys felt we needed to offer a seasoning with a little heat, so new this coming year will be a Cajun and Sriracha seasoning.
In addition to testing seasonings, the SNAC group have planned a meal that will be used in May.

Food Service Request
|
|
Spring Cleaning or cleaning out some one’s home? Have old or mismatched forks & spoons? If so, send them to school! We prefer to use the “real stuff” instead of plastic for a better dining experience. We also feel this will save the landfills from all the plastic. This is part of an Earth Day recycling event. If you have any old silverware you are willing to share with our cafeteria, it can be dropped off in the office of any of our schools.

Garden to Fork
|
|
Did you know that our school district has its own garden and hoop houses? We use the produce throughout the year on our serving lines and our culinary classes also use in their classrooms and caterings that they offer. In the High School our first few months we didn’t have to purchase much produce outside of the scho ![](http://files.ctctcdn.com/e33dab67401/04d9ec42-77bc-4625-9c10-607417ff48b0.jpg) ol district, we purchased from the garden on the grounds. This was also enjoyed in the Middle and Elementary Schools too. We also prep the produce in the summer for the freezer and are able to add to our recipes that we make during the year. The meals incorporate fresh, locally grown ingredients whenever possible. Students and parents will be able to note when we are using locally grown produce with the special notation on the menu and also noted right on the
serving line. Our students take much pride in producing Garden to Fork produce for everyone.
