Our End of Year Thank You at St. Anne's
Today the third grade children enjoyed what will become an annual event from this year forward. Along with Ms. Fendell and several parents, the third graders came to St. Anne's to say thank you and good bye.
When they arrived, the children gathered on the back patio to recall some of their favorite accomplishments over their four years of garden work. Then we reviewed our best manner skills for passing food and interacting with the residents in the dining room.
The third grade went in groups to the two dining rooms to serenade the diners with seasonal songs. After that, the children passed platters of garden inspired food. Once the residents had tasted our bounty to their hearts' content, the children returned to the patio where they feasted as well.
Our menu featured as many garden ingredients as possible:
Fava dip with carrots, snap peas, and crackers (favas, olive
oil, rosemary, lemon, water, salt, pepper)
Mint brownies
Herbed couscous salad with arugula
Fresh green salad with mixed garlic herb dressing
Chard and leek quiche
