Baldwin's Blast - Summer Garden & Water Schedule Help Needed

Tue, 6 Jun 2017 10:25:00 EST

CENTRAL SCHOOL GARDEN Summer Family Caretakers Would you like to: Promote healthy eating habits for your family? Bond with your child(ren) while gardening? Enjoy delicious and nutritious fresh produce? Then this is a great opportunity for you! The Central School Garden, located near the faculty parking lot and the fourth grade wing, needs YOUR help to survive the summer months. Promote healthy eating habits as you take part in watering, caring for, and harvesting fresh vegetables grown here at school. Children who participate in gardening are more willing to try new foods and keep an open mind! Children often don’t know where our food comes from. There is no substitute for the sense of accomplishment in growing delicious, healthy, and unprocessed food. Many students at Central School helped to plant seedlings in the garden and to water them. Our garden includes: green and red lettuces, spinach, kale, and swiss chard basil, chives, cilantro, rosemary, parsley, and mint tomatoes, carrots, radishes, and beets broccoli, snap peas, and cucumbers eggplant, beans, and bell peppers PLEASE become a family caretaker of the Central School Garden by signing up for a week or two on the summer schedule posted here! Provide your name and cell phone so that you and your partner family (two families may share each week) can coordinate, if necessary. Your responsibilities as caretakers include: watering the garden (a water source is nearby) weeding, if necessary harvesting and enjoying the produce! Many thanks in advance for your support and help with maintaining the garden this summer! I will be in touch with caretaker families with more information. Jill Zimmer Reach Teacher

Baldwin's Blast - Fooddays Update

Wed, 10 Aug 2016 08:36:00 EST

Dear Warren Township School Parent/Guardian: As you may have heard, there has been recent discussion between the District and the PTOs concerning Food Days. This occurred to ensure compliance with all applicable laws. We are happy to report that Food Days is returning in nearly the same form as has existed for several years. Food Day menus and ordering will be available through myfooddays.com in the same manner as in previous years. The only change will be that, prior to check out on the website, parents will be asked to waive any liability against the PTO and the District for the child’s participation in Food Days. This is necessary to protect our PTOs and volunteers because they do not purchase or prepare the food, but merely facilitate the food’s distribution. If you have any questions, or would like to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to contact me. Very truly yours, Lisa Slepokura - PTO President
