An exciting message from SCS Feed!

Hello parents! SCS FEED welcomes you to the 2014-15 school year! Information about our “Food Education Every Day” program will be presented at Curriculum Nights. It is there that you will have the opportunity to sign up as a parent volunteer if you are interested. In the meantime, the Committee has decided to kick start the school year with TWO fun upcoming activities for all of our students and parents are involved!

(1)    “THE BIGGEST VEGGIE CONTEST”- to celebrate the bountiful summer harvest, allstudents, K-8, should bring in the largest vegetable they can find either from their family’s garden, community garden or neighbor/friend/relative’s garden.  Students will have ONLY fromMonday 9/15 to Wednesday 9/17 to bring ONE to school. Please try and label you’re your child’s name and teacher on the veggie. If not, it will be done at school but the less labels to fill out, the better. There will be a box in each classroom for them to place it in. There will be a few winners and they will be announced on Friday 9/19. Prizes will be from Shelburne businesses. All veggies will be used in school lunch selections. PLEASE ENCOURAGE YOUR CHILD TO PARTICIPATE!

(2)    SHELBURNE FARMERS’ MARKET SCAVENGER HUNT- this has been done in the past with great success. It is a great way to encourage your kids to have fun at the market before the season ends! It is also a great introduction/reminder for them to know where their food comes from. PRIZES WILL BE AWARDED- 1 PER GRADE LEVEL! Scavenger Hunt Questions come home in backpacks Friday 9/12. Please put these on the fridge or somewhere handy to prevent it from getting misplaced! Kids have Sat, 9/20 and 9/27 to attend the market and complete the scavenger hunt. They will need to communicate with vendors to find the answers to the questions. They have until Wed, 10/1 to turn their sheets in to their teacher or front office. Winners will be announced (and parents emailed) Friday 10/3. Winners have Sat 10/4 and 10/11 to redeem their prize at the market from vendors!
