►T1heme Week at Friends School: Food!, Nov. 16-20. Meeting community
is invited to join the activities of Friends School Food Theme Week. Afternoon
activities that visitors may observe will include food chemistry, food rituals,
edible insects, breads around the world, food and math-measuring (recipes),
and wild edibles. On Wed. afternoon, Nov. 18, the students will go on one of
four field trips: Tait Farm, Meyer Dairy, PSU Mushroom Barns, or a
community supported agriculture project. Visitors may join students on trips.
Of particular interest to visitors (and to the teachers who welcome help) are
the cooking activities on Thurs. and Fri. morning, ending in the Food Sharing
and Gathering, Fri. from 1:35 to 2:20. Some extra hands would be very helpful
for this culminating activity.
If you are interested in helping with food preparation or just observing some
of the activities in the classrooms, please use the sheet on the White Board in
the Social Room to sign up, so the teachers can plan ahead. It will be fun to
have visitors join us for our study of this ever popular topic - FOOD!
