Whole School Evacuation a Success
Students and staff did an excellent job with the evacuation on Tuesday. Thank you for being safe, quiet, respectful and efficient at both gathering locations.

Organic Beef for Lunch
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 Pineapples
In 1493, explorer Christopher Columbus found pineapples on Guadeloupe Island in the Caribbean. The fruit is also native to southern Brazil and Paraguay.

One cup of pineapple has 70 to 85 calories.

Pineapples contain bromelain, an enzyme that may help arthritis pain by easing inflammation. They are also a good source of vitamin C, which helps your immune system.
