Let your children help prepare healthy meals. For smaller children, invest in kid-friendly knives. If they help make it, they are more likely to try it! Have a rule in your house that everyone has to at least try food served at meals. The rule should also apply to parents trying food that children have prepared!
**Submit your Earth-friendly or nutrition tips to farmtoschool@ccspta.info. We would love to share your ideas!

Hamilton College Performing Arts presents PUSH Physical Theatre on Saturday, Nov. 16, at 7:30 p.m., in Wellin Hall, Schambach Center for Music and the Performing Arts at Hamilton College.
Founded in Rochester, NY, in 2000 by husband-and-wife team Darren and Heather Stevenson, out of a desire to “push” the boundaries of conventional theatre, PUSH has since earned an international reputation as one of the U.S.’s leading physical theatre companies. The performance combines acrobatics, theatre, and modern dance.
PUSH was a season finalist on TruTV’s national series, Fake Off, a competition/reality show featuring what producers dubbed “the captivating art of ‘faking’” – a mix of theatre, acrobatics, and illusion. Their performances caused judge and Glee star Harry Shum Jr. to exclaim: “You guys are superhuman!”
PUSH received the Community of Color/Anton Germano Dance Award, the Performing Artist of the Year Award from the Arts & Cultural Council for Greater Rochester, and the University of Rochester’s Lillian Fairchild Award.
Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for senior citizens and $5 for students. All seats are on stage, with a limit of 90 seats per evening. Reservations are strongly suggested. This performance is suitable for ages 12 and over. Please call in advance to arrange handicapped seating. For tickets or more information call the box office at (315) 859-4331 or visit www.hamilton.edu/performingarts.
