SNACK TIME top six things to have in your kitchen

In January we were thrilled to have Chef Tanya of Native Foods come visit us at Anaheim Hills for a Chalk Talk. While she was there, she shared her suggestions on the top six things to keep in your kitchen at all times, and we wanted to share them with you! Read more and see pictures from the event on the Native Foods blog

Top Six Things to Have in Your Kitchen: 

1. Oatmeal
Quick for a snack, a great breakfast with some berries and walnuts for you and the kids.
2. Legumes
These are lentils, garbanzos, black and red beans. Keeps your engine on. You can use to make ethnically diverse dishes. Think Mexican black beans, East Indian Lentils, Middle Eastern garbanzos, etc.
3. Dark Leafy Greens
Steam them, saute them, chop them in salads, add them to your cooked beans for a hearty soup.
4. Fresh Berries
An easy to eat fruit, kids can snack on them and they go good in the oatmeal.
5. Avocados
The California wonderfood. Slice them, spread them, guac them.
6. Olive Oil
Ready to make a fresh easy salad dressing or saute some onions and garlic for a flavor base for your grains, legumes, veggies and soups.

Enrollment Celebration Barbecue
The Mable Campus was filled with excitement on Wednesday, April 27, as families and visitors enjoyed a picnic-style lunch with hot dogs and snacks. Families took time to visit with their children on the field, chatted with friends, and enjoyed a perfect spring day. The picnic was a wonderful opportunity to share our appreciation for the continued trust our families have in us, and we are extremely grateful to them for allowing us to achieve our enrollment goal. Many thanks also to the Fairmont Parent Association for providing delicious snow cones, and to Food Management for catering such tasty treats.

Boys Soccer
The JH Boys Soccer team just finished up a very successful season. They made it all the way to the semifinals of the Tri-Way League where they fell short to Anaheim Hills 2-0.It was a remarkable season for the boys because they finished with a record of 7-5 while playing with 10 players for 10 out of the 12 games. The defense was held together by goalie Nico Ament and defenders Matthew Tuinstra, Ejay Cho, Brando Padilla, and Nomin Park. They only gave up 9 goals in 12 games, which is a wonderful accomplishment. Through the midfield we were led by Shawn Cho, our playmaker, Alfred Mustafa, Justin Lee, Tarek Sahyoun, and Ken Li. Our leading goal scorer, Kareem Latif, tallied 16 goals for the season and was our engine during our play-off run. I have been coaching soccer for over 10 years, and I have not been more proud of a group of boys. Their heart and determination was second to none, and it was a true privilege to coach these young men.

Junior High Spirit Week
As the year begins to wind down, ASB events pick up. After a relaxing spring break, Junior High students jumped into the events of Spirit Week. ASB planned everything, and this year it was all about the movies. Each day, students competed to earn spirit points for their homeroom by dressing up to the according theme of that day. On Friday, April 29, homerooms competed against each other for a chance to steal the trophy from Mrs. Lugo's homeroom, last year's champion class. The homeroom games this year included a peanut butter and popcorn toss, a banana eating contest, a relay race, and a frozen T-shirt contest. In addition to spirit week, ASB sponsors other major events throughout the year including Carnival, the End-of-Year dance, and fundraisers.

Third Grade Visits George Key Ranch
On April 28th the third grade went to George Key Ranch and experienced something they weren't expecting. They went back  in  time.  Can you imagine no Xbox  and no TV, no fast food.  What did these people do?  Well, we found out.  All of us got to do chores. We washed clothes on a scrub board.  Hung them on a clothes line, and then we  beat rugs so they would be clean. After that we found out that these people took their baths in the kitchen.  The oldest person in the family would go first then by age everyone would get a turn.  All washed in the same water.  By the time the youngest got their turn that water didn't look so good.  We were kind of glad that we didn't live in the early 1900's, and we were happy to be going back to our time.  It was a really fun field trip. Anytime  you feel a need to see how lucky you are, you  can go back in time and visit George Key Ranch.      

Pre-School and Kindergarten Nutrition Presentations
Leslie Kay, MSN, from Nutrition Management Services talked to our youngest students about the importance of good eating habits and nutritious foods.  They talked about the 'good colors' of foods and that natural foods can be 'fun'.  They talked about different ways to eat fruits and vegetables.  Everyone sampled red grapes and frozen green grapes!

4th Grade Return From Sacramento
"Wagons Ho!" to Sacramento! 
"It was an amazing trip!" Candy Promprasert said soon after returning.  

The 4th graders of Mrs. Howe and Miss del Carmen's class, joined by Mrs. Reynolds and Mrs. Lottes, spent two nights and three days visiting San Francisco and Sacramento.  Some of the tourist hot spots we  visited during our one-day tour of San Francisco were Pier 39, Chinatown, and the Exploratorium.  

We spent the next two days in Old Sac, as well as visiting the Capitol Building, the Railroad Museum, Sutter's Fort, the Gold Bug Mine, and an old-time schoolhouse.  

When asked about the trip, our students had a few things to say... 

Athena P. said, "I enjoyed going to Pier 39 and it was really fun going down into the mines." 
Huda K. stated, "My favorite part was going to the beautiful Capitol building." 
Shreyas P. said, "My favorite part of the trip was panning for gold because I've never tried it before!"  
Emin T. shared, "I liked when the zoo ladies had the ferret crawling all over them." 
Aycia S. said, "The carriage ride around the city was fantastic!"  
Megan T. stated, "I liked the boat ride around San Francisco Bay."  

The fourth graders want to tell all the younger grades that going to on this trip is definitely something to look forward to!
