Ski/Skate Additional Makeup Dates:

Due to having to cancel a few of our Ski/Skate days so far, we have been able to add a few makeup dates. Please add March 10, 24, and 31 to your calendars for additional Ski/Skate days.

Middle School students had a cooking lesson with Ms G last Friday. Students reviewed cooking and knife handling safety as well as recipe reading. The focus of the recipes this week was from the book “Salt Fat Acid Heat” by Samin Nosrat. Students worked collaboratively in groups to make fresh pasta, tomato sauce, fresh ricotta cheese, and blanched green beans.

This past Friday we participated in “Sugar Out Day” This day is put on by the Maine Dept of Health and Human Services as a celebration of National Children’s Dental Health Month. Throughout the week Nurse Trisha came into classes to read a story and talked about dental health. Students in 1st grade sorted images into categories to represent what makes our teeth happy and/or sad.
