HARVEST OF THE MONTH
 |
December | Winter Squash
Winter squash belongs to the Curcubitaceae
family which includes cucumbers, summer squash, gourds, and melons. Winter squash, in comparison with its fair weather cousin, summer squash, has a thicker skin and denser, firmer flesh. It is perfectly suited for use in soups, stews, and casseroles. Don't forget about it's sweet uses too! It is great in breads and desserts. There are dozens of varieties that come in all shapes, colors, and sizes. Check out this neat visual guide to winter squashes from Serious Eats. Winter squash is a rich source of fiber, protein, potassium, magnesium, and vitamins A, C, and B6. |
LIKELY RECESS WEATHER
Definitely Colder. Dress warmly if you plan to go out. The snow is too shallow for snow tubes or snowshoes.

Most of the students and staff members present at the session are shown at this LINK TO 24 PICTURES.    FESTIVAL OF TREES MUSIC PERFORMANCE On November 30th a group of students from BFA, SATEC, and SACS performed at the Festival of Trees fundraiser to fight hunger in our area.
