This week Noel Mitchell from WVU Extension Agency and Americorps member Jazlynn Hambrick visited New River Primary, Ansted Elementary, and Divide Elementary schools for their monthly taste tests. The focus this month was on sweet potatoes, and the students were delighted with a special treat of sweet potato fries. This initiative is an excellent way to introduce students to new and healthy foods which they can also learn to prepare themselves. Encouraging students to make their own sweet potato dishes not only promotes healthy eating habits but also empowers them to be more involved in their nutrition choices. Additionally, providing them with the opportunity to vote on their preferences adds an element of engagement and participation. It's a creative way to blend culinary education with promoting a sense of autonomy and responsibility for one's health.
Good Morning, due to weather conditions, all Fayette County Schools will be operating on a two hour delay this morning, Wednesday, January 10th. Thank you.
Fayetteville PK-8 had a delicious lunch. Everyone loves spaghetti accompanied by a side of garlic bread. Ensuring a well-balanced meal, a fresh, crisp salad was included along with a generous portion of nutritious broccoli. Topping this delectable delight, students were treated to a sweet chocolate chip cookie as a satisfying dessert option.
New River Primary students experienced tastes from a different culture. This included delicious egg rolls and fried rice, accompanied by refreshing mandarin oranges, a fresh salad, and crunchy carrots. The students were treated to a fantastic meal that offered a combination of flavors and textures.
Oak Hill High School had the pleasure of welcoming Brandi McClellan from Jan-Care Ambulance & General EMS back to Aleah Denny's health class. Despite working tirelessly all night on the ambulance, Brandi arrived this morning with a mission to certify the students in first aid. Over the course of the past two weeks Ms. Denny has been diligently guiding the students through the textbook coursework. Jack McClung joined for the afternoon classes to help with hands-on activities and Brandi took charge of the final certification test. We cannot express enough gratitude to Ms. Denny, Brandi, and Jack for their dedication and hard work. Their collective efforts have not only certified these students in first aid but have also opened new doors for their future careers. Congratulations to all the newly certified students on successfully completing the hands-on activities and passing the final certification test!
Fayette County Schools will be on a 2 hr delay Monday January 8 due to inclement weather.
