GARDEN COMMITTEE:  It’s Salsa tasting time!  As you may recall, your children helped plant a Salsa garden in the spring.  Now that it’s harvest time, your children will have the opportunity to sample some of the lovely vegetables they planted such as tomatoes, onions, green, jalapeno and Serrano peppers in a salsa we will be serving with chips during lunch on Wednesday, 9/27.

Don’t forget PICTURE DAY is September 26, 2017.
