Farm to School and Scratch Cooking!
During the 2022-2023 school year, our kitchens worked on bringing our students more scratch cooked meals. We plan to continue this style of menu for the 2023-2024 year. Our district is focused on bringing our students nutritious, ingredient-based menu items creating a “from scratch menu”. Our menus will continue to follow the USDA Guidelines for appropriate grades as
well as provide new flavors and varieties. We’re excited to bring more new items to our menus and ask for patience as we work to continue improvements.

Harvest of the Month: October
Apples!
Tasty Trivia!
6 out of 10 apples eaten in the US are grown in Washington
If you put all the apples grown in Washington State in a year side-by-side, the would circle the earth 29 times!
Apple trees take 4-5 years to produce their first fruit.
Apples are harvested by hand because they bruise easily (10 billion apples are handpicked in Washington each year!)
Apples are a good source of:
Fiber in the form of pectin (make sure to eat the skin to get the most fiber)
Vitamin C (a lot found in the peel)
Potassium
Quercetin (an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nutrient)
