Lunchroom Monthly
Your monthly updates on School Lunch
NOVEMBER UPDATE
We have had a LOT happen over the last month.
On October 7th, 3rd grade took a trip to Dan and Debbie's Creamery in Ely, IA, and on October 11th our 5th grade was able to take the same opportunity. While at the creamery we were able to hear all about the process of raising dairy cows, seeing the production of their goods and sampling their sweet treats as well! We are so grateful to the Dan and Debbie's team for having us and for the great presentation. Dan and Debbie's supplies us with all of our cheese curds for our grab and goes as well as other dairy products throughout the year.
Friday October 14th was "Make Today a Try Day" as part of National School Lunch week. All students were encouraged to try a menu item they had yet to try this year and were awarded Try Day stickers. This was such a great opportunity to interact with the students and give them a little more insight on where their food is coming from as well as discuss proper lunch room behavior.
Monday October 31st we had our first taste testing with Elementary! We were able to try local apples from Buffalo Ridge and enjoy the last yummy fruits of the season. We are so thankful to have local farms provide us with our fresh produce.
Happy November!
