Today is Local Beef Day -Not Wednesday.
The wrong date was a Daily Announcement Error by Mr. Craib. Please enjoy the good local beef nachos today 5-26-2016.

This is a repeat of the content put on Wednesday's announcements
We have a very special meal item today -organic beef from Choiniere Family Farm in Highgate. Most beef cows are fed grains for a period of time to fatten them up before processing them into beef. Cows are meant to eat grass and are healthier when they do. Choiniere's beef is strictly grass fed. Please check out this 3 1/2 minute long Video about the beef we will be eating today.

For snacks today we have Granny Smith Apples

Granny Smith apples have a juicy tart and sweet taste, and are often eaten raw or in desserts, cider or salads.
Granny Smith apples are particularly high in antioxidants, compared with some other apples, while containing many other beneficial vitamins and minerals.
Granny Smiths are said to be the best apples to use in cooking, as they do not change their natural shape once cooked due to the high acid content.
