SACS BEETS SERVED AT SCHOOL (10-20-2020) Message from the SACS cafeteria director. Today, we got to use Beets from the St.Albans City Garden to go with our Maple Carrots, Sweet Potato Fries and Chicken Nuggets!  The beets were planted in early July by students working with Mr. Rouleau and Ms. Pizzaro. They were grown in a section of the garden that the school uses as a teaching and market gardening space. Produce from the garden is used for cooking projects and for selling the Abbey Group to be used in meals served in our cafeteria.  | ||||||||
