Currently, they are taking a close look at the huge amount of food waste in our country. In an attempt to help this problem, the students have decided to help educate our parents and students by giving one bit of information or suggestion in our newsletter each week from the "Food Dude". Here is Kostyn and Tanya's Food Dude:  Fact: The number of pounds of waste in the U.S. per year (not counting waste in homes) is over 72 billion pounds!

Try apple slices instead. :) Survivor Class learns how to safely whittle with a knife and shoot a bow and arrow.Reading Buddies :)   May 18th is the Kids Fun Run and Plant SaleWheels Day was awesome!This Friday, we leave school at 8:45 sharp to go see bird banding at PSU.
