Alta Vista School

It was great to see so many of you at the MUMSA produce pick-up today! Wondering what to make? Check out these ideas- Yummy roasted acorn squash from McNutt, the Joergensen Family made beautiful vegetarian lunch, and Krissi from Admissions added avocado to the butter lettuce and fennel for a refreshing salad. The next produce pick-up will be in May. Keep an eye out in the AVS Press for details.

Thank you Mumsa, for these delicious produce bags!
