HARVEST OF THE MONTH Health and Learning Success Go Hand-in-Hand: Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains supports a healthy body and mind. With Harvest of the Month, your family can explore, taste and learn about fruits and vegetables and being active every day. Healthy Serving Ideas- Pears: Cut a pear in half and remove the core. Fill the center of each half with all-natural peanut butter or low fat yogurt. Sprinkle with granola and cinnamon for a healthy snack. Add sliced pears to spinach salads. Enjoy a whole pear for an afternoon snack. Talk with your child about fruits and vegetables that are in season. Find a recipe and make it together. For more ideas visit: www.calpear.com. Produce Tips: Choose pears that look colorful and fresh with no bruises or holes. Test for ripeness by pressing gently near the stem. If it feels soft, it is ready to eat. To ripen a pear, place on countertop, in a bowl, or in a paper bag. If placed near apples, pears will ripen more quickly. Store ripe pears in the refrigerator. To keep sliced pears from turning brown, dip them into a mixture of one tablespoon 100% apple juice and one cup water. 2-Week Cycle Elementary Breakfast Menu Cycle Date Menu is Subject to Change without notice Cycle 1 Sept 4-8 Sept 18-22 Coffee Cake Biscuit w/sausage Breakfast Pizza Bagel Cinnamon Triangles w/ Yogurt Zucchini Bread Cycle 2 Sept 11-15 Sept 25-29 Breakfast Pizza Bagel Belgian Waffle Banana Bread French Toast Sticks Build Your Own Yogurt Parfait Offered with Every Breakfast: Fruit: Assorted 4oz juice, fresh, or canned Milk offered Daily: 1% and nonfat white Prepay online at www.myschoolbucks.com Opt out of Nonfat Chocolate Milk via email at fns@smmusd.org Did you know?
