Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow, November 11th, is Veteran's Day, and there will be NO SCHOOL!
We honor and thank all the brave men and women who have served our country. Their courage and sacrifice protect the freedoms we cherish every day. Take some time tomorrow to reflect on the importance of this day and, if you know a veteran, thank them for their service.
Enjoy the long weekend, and we'll see everyone back on Wednesday
These brilliant minds transformed into experts for Good Food Production, Inc., tackling real-world problems. From investigating tricky food dye mixtures to designing the perfect, stable salad dressing using their understanding of matter, they absolutely crushed it!
To celebrate their incredible work, we whipped up some homemade salads today, topped with their very own, perfectly formulated dressings! So proud of their scientific thinking, collaboration, and creativity.
A massive thank you to all the wonderful parents who donated ingredients and materials to make this hands-on project and our celebratory feast truly come alive! Your support made all the difference.

The ongoing federal government shutdown is creating growing uncertainty for Arizona’s families and students. Last Thursday, the Department of Economic Security (DES) notified families that SNAP benefits, which support over 347,000 Arizona children, will be halted starting Saturday.
To support school in responding to family inquiries, the Arizona School Boards Association (ASBA) is providing the following resources:
Arizona Food Bank Network Map: Get Food - Arizona Food Bank Network
Arizona Food Pantry Map: Find Food Now - AZ Food Help
Includes Churches, School Districts, Community Colleges, Community Centers and more.
Food Bucks Now: Find Locations - Double Up Arizona
SNAP recipients can receive $30 food vouchers by presenting their EBT cards at participating farmers markets and other locations. This temporary program is funded by the Arizona Governor’s Office using ARPA dollars and will remain active for the duration of the shutdown.
While school meal programs are currently unaffected, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has indicated that funding will only last for approximately two more months. ASBA will continue to monitor the situation and provide timely updates to our members.
Please share these resources with your communities to help ensure families have access to the support they need during this challenging time. Additionally, ASBA has developed a template to contact your congressional representatives and advocate for an end to the shutdown in support of Arizona’s schools.
