Food is a big part of our day at school. Miss Judy and Miss Amy prepare all the Garden School meals from scratch. They delight the children with a wonderful breakfast, lunch and snack every day. They use fresh fruit, fun style veggies, lean meats, fresh fish and all whole grain breakfasts and desserts so that every child receives the right nutrition every day.
MMMMM........ home made bread!
Lunch always exceeds USDA Child Care Food Program standards. We serve a great entre including homemade whole grain pizza, beef and cheese tacos with all the trimmings, piggie pie - a sweet pork dish they all love - whole baked hams, chickens, salmon, turkeys, pork roasts, breakfast for lunch with all the trimmings, and children's specialties like spaghetti, lasagna, traveling pies, quiche for kids and many more exciting tastes and delights.
Lunch is always served with lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grain home made bread, milk and a lot of love. Children may have as much as they want. Manners are expected.
The United States Depart of Agriculture has a delightful Web page especially geared for children concerning all aspects of food. Click here
"From the mounts of children,
God finds perfect priase."
We say a lunch grace before
we eat. It is a simple thanking God for the food we are about to
eat. After lunch, we thank God for all he has done for us. We pray what is
called "intercessory prayers." These are petitions for things we
want. We pray for our families, for ill friends and relatives and those in
our nursing homes, for our school, for those who are kind to
us, and for those who are unkind to us, for travelers, for our pets, for
special intentions of our family and friends and for the soldiers who are
fighting for us. If you have a special intention or
need for prayer, please let a teacher know. We conclude with a request of God's
special friends to pray for us because they are close to Him.
