Fun Fall Activities From FEED

(1)    “The Biggest Veggie Contest”- students, K-8 are asked to bring in the largest vegetable from either their family’s garden, community garden or neighbor/friend/relative’s garden.  They will have from Monday 9/15 to Wednesday 9/17 to bring ONE to school. There will be a box in each classroom for them to place it in. I've asked for parents to label both child's and teacher's name. If not, I'm asking that teachers to use masking tape and label. There will be a few winners and they will be announced on Friday 9/19. Prizes will be from Shelburne businesses. All veggies will be used in school lunch selections.

(2)    Shelburne Farmers’ Market Scavenger Hunt- this has been done in the past with great success. It is a great way to encourage the kids and their parents to have fun at the market before the season ends! It is also a great introduction/reminder for them to know where their food comes from. The kids will need to communicate with vendors to find the answers to the questions. PRIZES FROM THE VENDORS WILL BE AWARDED- 1 PER GRADE LEVEL! They have Sat, 9/20 and 9/27 to attend the market and complete the scavenger hunt. They have until  Wed, 10/1 to turn their sheets in to their teacher or front office. Winners will be announced (and parents emailed) Friday 10/3. Winners have Sat 10/4 and 10/11 to redeem their prize at the market!
