Dear Parents,
As you know, each classroom will be contributing to the Spring Gala Silent Auction. Middle School will be putting together a recipe book that's oh-so-much-more than a recipe book. While many of the MS kids like to cook, there will be space in our book for those who don't cook to be able to contribute,also. Here are some of the topics we hope will inspire, entertain and inform all cooks, past and future:
favorite recipes for kids to cook
"first time" recipes and reminiscences of first cooking experiences
favorite family recipes, including those made on special occasions and holidays
original recipes made up by MS children
recipes best cooked with friends or family, with accompanying anecdotal information
parties: how to plan and carry out a party
table setting: how to set a table for different occasions and/or decipher a complicated table setting
prayers to be said before a meal
nutrition: an article about the food pyramid and nutritional needs for children
recipes for healthful snacks
lunchbox ideas: kids could share what they like to see in their lunch boxes
mindful eating: an article could be written about being more conscious of where our food originates and could include garden or composting ideas.
table manners
restaurant reviews: could include a favorite dish and a photo of the chef, owner or a favorite server
original poetry in which the topic is food
As you can see, there should be plenty for everyone!
We need your assistance in collecting articles and recipes from your kids as soon as possible so that we have time to put it all together. Students will have some time in school for this activity, but you could help by asking your children about their part of the project and helping them get together a recipe to contribute.
We are under somewhat of a time crunch as the finished product is due at the end of February. Naturally, we think the Interest Fair is a top priority, but perhaps the recipe book project could be a fairly quick break once in awhile from the I.F. work?
Thanks for your encouragement, support and assistance!
