Episode #2: Winter Squash and Abenaki Foodways / Curriculum

With gratitude for the Abenaki agricultural traditions, our second video about squash celebrates the gifts of today and yesterday. Journey with Farmer Fae into the fall harvest on the farm, discover the Seven Sisters, and enjoy a culinary lesson with Abenaki chef Jesse and our own chef Zack. Learn how to carry on the tradition of seed saving and be surprised to learn that familiar squashes on our dinner table have been tended by the Abenaki for ten thousand years. Curriculum wellness support written for ages 4-7, 8-12, teen to adult, pre-natal, and elders is available and invites you on a deeper journey into how to cultivate a community that caretakes our soil and ourselves.

The FLU and COVID-19 have many symptom similarities, though there are some differences as well. See THIS CHART, from UVM's Health Network, to compare symptoms of Allergies, Cold, Flu and COVID-19.

If you have not done so already, consider getting your flu vaccine to protect yourself and your loved ones.

COVID-19 PCR Testing Sites:

• If you/your student are sick, please contact your health care provider.
• If you/your student are not sick, but need a test, consider scheduling a test at a pop-up site on the Health Department's website: "Where to Get Tested" or call the Health Department @ 863-7240.

The cold weather is here! Please be sure you send your child with long pants, snow pants, boots, jacket, hats, and mittens to wear at recess every day. Remember to label your child’s outdoor gear.

Please label all your children's winter gear with their name or initials for easy return to the correct child if it should get misplaced.

HEAD-TO-TOE TIPS FOR DRESSING FOR WINTER WALKING TO SCHOOL

• Keep your hands and head covered to prevent heat loss
• On really cold days, wear a scarf over your face and mouth
• Wear a warm coat that deflects the wind
• Wear warm, waterproof boots
• Woolen clothing helps to retain the heat
• Wear clothing or carry knapsacks with reflective material - it's important to be seen
• If possible, change wet clothes at school - tuck an extra pair of socks and mitts into knapsacks

Below -13oF is considered too cold for walking--move your walk indoors, or select another day for outdoor activities and walking to school.
