We started our day off right today with Blueberry Overnight Oats using Purple Mountain Organics (Maryland) traditional rolled oats.
Thursday we will be serving quarter pound Burner's Beef (Luray, Page County) Burgers with cheddar cheese made in Dayton (Rockingham County). Elementary students will be offered the cheddar cheeseburger. Middle/High students can customize their burger to their liking on our Burger Bar.
Thursday is also the annual Crunch Heard 'Round the Commonwealth. All students and staff will be given an apple grown at Thornton River Orchards (Sperryville, Rappahannock County) to take a crunch and make some noise for Farm to School week. Keep a lookout for pictures from this event. #VACrunch #FarmtoSchool
