Enjoy your real blueberries.

Many blueberry-flavored processed foods do not contain any real blueberries. Products like bagels, cereals, breads, and muffins from brands like Kellogg’s, Betty Crocker and General Mills were reported to use combos of sugar, corn syrup, starch, oil and artificial flavors and dyes to create their own mock blueberries, according to a 2011 Consumer Wellness Center investigation, the LA Times reported.  Link to Reference

EVENTS OR NOTICES

Team Triumph needs your empty plastic bottles (2 liter, water bottles, soda bottles, etc.) for a science project that we will be engaged in after the break. Mrs. Levine & Mrs. Morrissey would love it if you could bring them in for us at any point between now and the end of March. We will gladly be around to collect them if that works best for you, or you can deliver them at your convenience. Thank you for your support!



PICTURES AND REPORTS


TRIUMPH
Teams of students from Triumph created “rover capsules” to toss off the school roof. Each capsule contained a raw egg. The goal was to build a capsule that could safely convey the egg to the surface of the planet safely. Many student teams achieved this goal. Pictures taken before the winter break on 2-23-2018. Thanks to Mr. Dan Deslauriers and custodian Dillon who collected all the capsules and tossed them over the edge of the roof.










IRON CHEF COOKING CONTESTANTS
Some of our students came in over the winter break to practice their cooking skills for the Vermont Iron Chef cooking contest coming up in a few weeks. Their unique burritos cooked up beautifuly and tasted delicious!






P.E. PRACTICING MOVEMENT SKILLS IN ANTICIPATION OF LEARNING GYMNASTICS
