Dear Barn Swallow Families,
Happy Friday! As you may know, the Level one classes are preparing for our Empty Bowls Feast on Wednesday, March 2nd. This dinner event, part of an international grassroots effort to fight hunger, will raise funds for local organizations that deal with food insecurity. The Swallows have been working hard to craft their bowls for the Feast, and now we are ready to make the soup that will fill them!
For this coming week's Out and About (Tuesday, March 1st), the Barn Swallows will be making Vegetable Barley Soup and we need your help! Here are three ways you could contribute:
1) Volunteer next Tuesday to join us on our Out and About, from 12:30-3:00. We would like at least 2 extra adults to join us!
2) Donate a small food item to our soup.
We are gratefully accepting:
- Vegetable stock
- Barley for soup
- Root Vegetables (Parsnips, rutabagas, turnips, carrots, sweet potatoes, potatoes...any others?)
-Kale
-Onions
-Fresh garlic
- Fresh herbs (basil, thyme, sage, parsley, chives)
If you are able to donate a food item, please email me and/or send the food item to school with your child on Monday, February 28th . Any other home-grown veggies or herbs would be an added treat, and are welcome. Thanks!
3) Attend the Empty Bowls FEAST. Tickets for a meal plus a student-hand-made bowl start at only $10, and can be purchased in the front office. Your support is welcome! Email k.torry@fgcschool.org for more information.
Thank you for your support, and enjoy the weekend,
Sincerely,
Sherry
