P.A.C.K. week is coming...

What does P.A.C.K stand for anyway? Pack Assorted Colors for Kids!

Pack Week is intended to help introduce children to new fruits and vegetables that they might enjoy.  The food service is participating and I hope that all those kiddos that bring a cold lunch from home will join us!  I encourage the children to bring a new fruit and/or vegetable that matches the color AND wear that color for the day!
