To quote a first grader:  "Yum Yum Yum"

Chef George Edwards prepared potato leek pie and pear apple crisp with fresh New York State produce.   In exchange, we gave him some of our BNS farm grown sunchokes and herbs.

Writing thank you notes to Cafeteria staff, Johanna and George

Nothing will change

A birthday party will spring up

If any of those things happen, we will let you know.

Thanks Shirley and Polly and Tish
