THE ST. ALBANS CITY SCHOOL 50TH CELEBRATION CONTINUES INTO 2020
Over the next several weeks, the daily announcements will include pictures from 1970 and a similar picture that was taken 50 years later in 2020. These pictures are also posted on the wall outside the big gym. Can you see anything that is the same 50 years later?

January | Beets are the "Harvest of the Month" 

Happy New Year!  Perhaps you've made a resolution to eat healthier this year.  Beets are a great "secret weapon" addition to your diet, due to the lesser-known, but highly beneficial nutrients they contain.  Certain compounds in beets, such as nitrates, betalains, and betaine, can help with oxidative stress, inflammation, cardiovascular health, and cognition.  Betalains, which give beets their bright red color, are known to provide a powerful antioxidant and inflammatory effect.  Read up on all of the ways beets can improve your health here.  The unique texture and color of beets provide a great addition to any meal.  We hope you incorporate this lovely root vegetable into your dishes this month, or any time of the year!

Vermont Harvest of the Month is a project of Green Mountain Farm-to-School, Food Connects, and Vital Communities.
