PICTURES AND REPORTS

WALKING WEDNESDAY RESULTS
This was the last Walking Wednesday for awhile. The next one will be held on December 4th. One hundred and four people signed in as having walked or biked to school. Triumph had the highest turnout as has often been the case.

RISEVT CLASSROOM VISIT TO MR. LEWIS' CLASSROOM
Mr. Moretti, a specialist in playing games with children, among other impressive skills, met with Mr. Lewis's students for about 40 minutes. He started out reading a book based on the Jack-and-the-Bean-Stalk story but modified creatively to become a lesson in healthy eating. Moretti then followed the story with a sorting game in which kids had to recognize foods that fell into the various food groups. All of this was done in a very engaging way. At the end of the session, Mr. Moretti pumped up a kickball and awarded it to the classroom for completing 12 of 15 healthy actions in the classroom. Mr. Lewis' classroom has definitely become a Bronze level RiseVT classroom and will likely be a gold level classroom before the end of the school year. LINK TO 26 PICTURES

HARVEST OF THE MONTH
St. Albans City School celebrates Harvest of the Month where one Vermont-grown vegetable or fruit is celebrated and served in our cafeteria. This month sweet potatoes are the focus.

November | Sweet Potatoes
Happy November! The leaves have fallen, the temperatures are dropping, and the daylight is disappearing. What better time to nourish your body with this sweet and starchy root vegetable? Sweet Potatoes are rich in fiber and contain an array of vitamins and minerals such as iron, calcium, selenium, and vitamins B and C. They also contain an antioxidant called beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A once consumed. Though many recognize sweet potatoes for their bright orange insides, they can also be white, yellow, or purple depending on the variety.
