HARVEST OF THE MONTH The Abbey Group prepares food for our students and staff and strives to provide as much locally grown food on our menus as possible. The food is healthy and our consumption of these vegetables and fruits helps support local farmers. This month Cabbage is the harvest of the month and we will see cabbage at some of our meals.   Producer Spotlight: Heartwood Farm  This month, participating schools in Northern VT will receive cabbage from Heartwood Farm. Heartwood Farm, located on six acres of land in South Albany, grows a variety of produce and makes wood-fired maple syrup the old-fashioned way. For husband and wife team, Meghan Stotko and Andy Paonessa, their soil is just as important to them as their food and they strive to be good stewards of the earth with their farming practices. Learn more about their program here. |

EVENTS AND NOTICES
A NOTE FROM OUR NURSES TO STUDENTS AND FAMILIES Know Your Dose Acetaminophen, often known as Tylenol, is a medication found in over 600 prescription and over the counter medicines. It is often found in cough, cold, allergy medicines, pain relievers and fever reducers. Due to the fact that acetaminophen is found in so many items, it can be easy take more than the daily recommended amount. It is key to always read the label of all medications that you take. Consuming too much acetaminophen can lead to liver damage. 
Walking Wednesday.
Wednesday, February 6th. 6:45 to 7:30 AM.
