FARM TO SCHOOL: We stopped by our middle/high school cafeteria today to check out our school nutrition team’s New York Thursdays offerings! A statewide initiative, New York Thursdays highlights New York-grown and produced food items during school meals once per week. It’s intended to maximize the amount of locally produced food students have access to at school while, at the same time, saving the district money in the form of increased state aid reimbursements. It’s truly a win-win-win for students, our district and local farmers! Today’s lunch menu is below - take a look to see all the New York-grown products! • Hotdog on a bun: Hotdogs from Wardynski’s Meats (Buffalo) • Side salads: Tomatoes from our district’s high-tunnel greenhouse, cucumbers from American Fruit and Vegetable Company (Rochester), bread and butter pickles from our district’s Summer Agriculture Club. • Carrots: Headwater Foods (Ontario, Wayne County) • Apples: LynOaken Farms (Medina) • Peaches: American Fruit and Vegetable Company (Rochester) • Milk: Upstate Farms (Farmer-owned dairy cooperative comprising more than 300 farms - most in Western New York)

Open and shut, open and shut, this is the way we CUT CUT CUT! Today was a big day for Mrs. Audra McDonald’s kindergarten students who learned how to be safe with scissors before trying their hand - literally - at cutting along a line. Students started off practicing cutting straight lines. After getting a feel for their scissors, they tried more challenging curved lines. We saw a lot of improvement with each new line our kindergarteners snipped - way to go!

Mark your calendars for Oct. 3, Devils Nation - it’s the night of our varsity girls volleyball team’s Dig Pink Game. You can take in a quality volleyball match, support our girls and raise money for breast cancer awareness, care and research - all in one fell swoop! And don’t forget to grab a tshirt - they’re $15 and can be purchased from any volleyball player or in the main office of any school building. Last year, we raised more than $2,000 - let’s see if we can top that on Oct. 3!

FARM TO SCHOOL: This year, Attica Central Schools will be participating in New York Thursdays, a statewide initiative meant to maximize the amount of locally produced food students have access to at school. Alicia Spoth, our farm-to-school coordinator, Kris Wicks, our food service director, and our entire food service team made this a priority last year so joining the initiative for the 2023-24 school year was an easy decision. Check out our New York Thursdays menu for September below.
