What's Cooking?

On February 28th, our AmeriCorps member, Rachel led students in our second "healthy eating event" of the school year - Pass the Plate. The event highlighted three international dishes selected and prepared by 5th and 6th-grade culinary students and featured vegetables grown by students at the School Farm. K-4th grade students were invited to sample each dish and record their impressions in a passport. The three recipes they tasted were; Havij Polo - a Persian carrot rice dish, Potato Gnocchi - an Italian dumpling, and Wattakka Kalu Pol - a pumpkin curry from Sri Lanka. All dishes got favorable reviews, but students liked the Havij Polo best!
