A Time to Give Thanks

A special thank-you to all the grandparents and special friends who spent the morning with us at School and to the Parents’ Association for organizing such a memorable event.

Wishing everyone in the USM community a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!

Food for Thought

As you can see from the photo, there is a long history of school mothers making sure that lunch is on the table.

While today it’s hardly about donning a white coat, several parents are rolling up their sleeves to help ensure we are not only offering healthy fare that the children will want to eat, but that we are also responsive to the concerns of families who have children with serious food allergies.

Our appreciation goes out to the Parents' Association subcommittee - Niven Kingwill, Lisa Balistreri, Suzanne Brixey, Ellie Sadeghi, and Gina Yauck, who serve on the USM Food Committee, along with USM faculty and administration members Jennifer Keppler, Kathleen Roebber, Alex Chou, Pamela Nosbusch, Carolyn Lengh, Rosie Lyons, and Tony Pergande. The committee has been reviewing the dining program school-wide and plans to announce their recommendations in early 2012.

Thanks also to Linda Mutschler who not only spent time working with the kitchen staff but wrote about it so interestingly in Sunday’s Journal Sentinel. In case you missed it, click here.
