The CCS PTA Farm to School Committee, working with OHM BOCES Food Service and the Mohawk Valley Farm to School Initiative, has launched a new Harvest of the Month sampling program. Harvest of the Month is a Farm to School initiative that promotes a seasonal, locally grown item each month. A day or two before the Harvest of the Month is listed on the menu each month, the elementary school kitchen staff will prepare a batch of the menu item for volunteers to serve samples to students in the cafeteria. The idea is to encourage the students to try something new and maybe even choose it for lunch later in the week. Below is our sample schedule:
| Menu Item | Sample Date | Date Listed on Menu |
|---|---|---|
| Honey Carrot Bar | March 26 | March 28 |
| Black Bean and Corn Salsa | April 23 | April 25 |
| Cheesy Kale Bake | May 21 | May 23 |
| Cucumber Yogurt Dip | June 4 | June 6 |
If you would like to join the Farm to School committee, please email us at farmtoschool@ccspta.info You can also help by encouraging your child to try the samples offered! Thank you for your support!
The Green Team has been busy planting seeds for our school vegetable garden. We are starting plants indoors now and hope to plant them in the garden behind the school in May. We planted tomatoes, basil, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, beets, and carrots. We also planted marigolds to keep animals and insects away from our plants. We have some sprouts growing already in our mini-green house. We'll keep you posted on how our garden is growing!
My name is Celso Vasquez. I am a Junior at Clinton High School. I was a student in Guatemala until I was 13 years old. Many of the children in Guatemala lack equipment to play soccer and resort to playing with grocery bags rolled into a ball.
For a class project I would like to send these unfortunate children used soccer equipment that your children have outgrown. There is a drop off box located at Access Federal Credit Union in Clinton, NY and at the Clinton Elementary School and High School.
Collection will be starting on March 1st lasting through April 30th.
Items should fit students ages 6 - 11.
