What’s on the menu for the week of March 25th?
Tuesday: Mango Mangosarethemostpopularfruitinthe world andwerefirstgrowninIndiaover 5000yearsago.The evergreen mango tree can grow as high as 115–130 ft.They are a long living tree, with some specimens having been known to still bear fruit after 300 years. The flowers of a mango tree are small and white with five petals, and the fruit takes between three and six months to ripen. Mango fruit can come in various shapes, size and color including yellow, orange, red and green.
Wednesday: Asparagus Not All Asparagus is Green – Most grocery stores carry green asparagus, however, there are white and purple asparagus as well. Purple asparagus is a genetic variety that actually turns green when cooked. Asparagus takes 3-4 years to grow and harvest, making it a more labor intensive investment that can sometimes come with higher prices at the grocery store compared to other vegetables.
🎶 Notes from the Music Department 🎶
We are in concert season and the kids are very excited about everything we are working on. Our spring concert is Thursday May 2, 2024. The K-2 students will start at 6:00pm that night, with grades 3-5 starting at 7:00pm. Each section is to arrive at the new gym 15 minutes before concert start time.
In preparation for our night, we need your help. Each student needs a plain white shirt for a project we are working on. Please send a blank white shirt with your child to music by Thursday, March 28th. After we have finished our project, they will wear these shirts to the concert with either jeans or leggings. Thank you so much for your support in this. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at cschulte@wrrsd.org
