Principal’s Corner
It was nice to see so many parents here over our PTS conference nights. If you were unable to come to conferences this past week, you can contact your child’s teacher to arrange a time you are able to come in or you may wish to do a phone conference. It is important for children to know their parents are involved and interested in their progress at school. This week we have the Campbell Fire Department here to teach all classrooms about fire safety. I want to thank them for committing to this each year and for the excellent presentations they do for our students. This Wednesday, October 26th is our K-5 trip to the LaCrosse County Landfill. We will be sending home a reminder notice with students Tuesday after school. Please be sure to dress your child appropriately. Right now the forecast is for a possibility of rain. Unless it is storming, we plan to go on this trip. We can always cut the trip short if necessary. Our PTO is hosting a Halloween Party here at school this Friday, October 28th from 5:30-7:00. There is no cost to this event and no food will be served. This is simply a time for students to come in costumes and enjoy several different games that evening with their friends. We look forward to seeing many of you there. Finally, I want to remind parents there is no school on Monday, October 31st and on Tuesday, November 1st. School will resume for students on Wednesday, November 2nd .
Dirk Hunter, Principal

Summit
The Art Room needs your help to collect and gather plastic bottle caps to use in a variety of art and school wide projects. The bottle caps can be from any household grocery item. Milk jugs, OJ boxes, sour cream/yogurt lids, detergent lids, soda pop lids, water bottle lids, shampoo caps, etc. As long as they are plastic...any color and any size will work. I would request that the donated caps be PRE-CLEANED-VERY-WELL. Usually a rinsing with soap and water will do. Thank you for all your support and dedication to this project for our school and community. If any questions, please feel free to contact me. Artfully Yours, Carissa Brudos Art Teacher (608) 789-8828 Email: [email protected]

across Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio will be celebrating National Farm to School Month by crunching into locally grown
apples on this day! Let us know what your school has planned by visiting us on facebook: www.facebook.com/getactivelacrossecounty
Uses
Make a peanut butter and apple sandwich! Cut thin apple slices, spread with peanut or other nut butter and top with another apple slice!
Sliced apples can also be added to other sandwiches & wraps. Try granny smith apple slices on a grilled cheese sandwich!
Make your own apple dipping bar. Apple dips can include peanut butter, yogurt, caramel, a pumpkin spice mix, Nutella and fruit dip; be creative!
Family Friendly Activity
Plan a weekend visit to a local apple orchard and pick your own apples.
Set up an apple taste test. Try a variety of apples such as Gala, Pink Lady, Granny Smith, and Honey Crisp. Which apple has the best flavor? Some local
apple vendors may offer taste tests in store!
Farm2School Updates
The Coulee Region Farm2School Program is proudly announcing a partnership with Gundersen Health System and Mayo Clinic Health System. Both
healthcare institutions have partnered with the program to not only help support the program’s mission and vision, but also to further local food
purchases in their own cafeterias.
Pick:
•Choose apples that are firm with no bruises or soft spots.
•Color may vary depending on variety - it is not an indicator
of ripeness.
•Depending on variety, apples can be sweet, tart or in
between!
Store:
•Apples can be stored at room temperature for a few days or
in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for a few weeks.
Prepare:
•Wash before eating; for the best nutritional value leave
the skin on!
•To prevent browning, dip sliced apples in a mixture of
lemon juice and water.
