It’s not too late to see your kids’ name in print – on the back of our
souvenior T-shirt that is. $10 per name! And to get this wonderful T-shirt
you must come to the party! Send your $$ in soon -- $40 gets you dinner,
dessert and $10 in chips!
Why are we
throwing this party you ask? Well, all the money we raise goes to fund the
PTA Cultural Arts Program and various PTA sponsored events. Here is what PTA
has brought to the school so far for the kids to enjoy:
The Welcome
Back Picnic Sports Night
Family Movie
Night PARP events
Chess Nuts
(grades 4-6) Let’s Make A Law (grade 5)
Journey Into
American Indians (grade 4) The Bodacious Book Show
Mr. G’s
Accopella Group DINOS Rock (2nd
grade)
The Singing
Bus Driver (kindergarten) Author Angelo DeCesare (1st
grade)
Sparky The
Rescue Dog (grades K-3) Mad Science (1st
grade)
And still to come….
Sky Lab
(grades 2 and 5)
Reptiles/Amphibians (grades 3 and 6)
Butterflies/Rainforest Exhibit (grade 3)
And more!
Plus, PTA
pays for and or contributes to the cost of various trips off of school
grounds such as: 1st grade trip to Schmitts Farms, 3rd
grade trip to the Vanderbilt Musuem, the 4th Grade trip to
Benners Farm and the 6th grade Broadway Show trip,
plus many others.
We are
able to do all of this for the kids b/c of the great support we get from
you, the parents. So let’s keep it up and everyone join us on March 16th
@ Viva Loco for our Parents Night Out!
Stuffed Sweet
Potatoes
4 medium
sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon
extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
Salt and
pepper
1/4 cup low
fat buttermilk or yogurt
1/2 teaspoon
sweet
or
smoked paprika
4-5 slices
turkey bacon, chopped
1/2 cup
extra-sharp cheddar cheese
3 scallions,
sliced on the bias
Pre-heat the
oven to 450˚F.
Place the
sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and rub them with EVOO, salt and pepper.
Bake until tender, about 35-40 minutes.
Halve the potatoes and scoop out about a third of the flesh of each into a
medium size mixing bowl. Add the buttermilk or yogurt to the sweet potato
flesh. Season with salt and paprika, then mash.
Fill the
potato skins with the mashed potatoes and arrange the skins on a baking
sheet. Place back into the oven for about 15 minutes, until the edges are
slightly golden brown.
Meanwhile, cook up the bacon in a skillet until golden brown. Reserve on a
paper towel-lined plate.
Remove the
potato skins from the oven and sprinkle with the bacon, cheese and
scallions. Serve two halves per person with a salad alongside.
