LMMHS Spirit Days
More images from Harmony Day
LMMHS students paid a visit to Morris to participate in Harmony Day. They read stories from around the globe and shared their exhibits from the International Fair. The elementary students loved having the "big kids" present to them.

Our Food Service Director, Shannon Gagliardo, applied for, and was awarded the
Massachusetts Fresh Farm to School Grant! This allows Lenox Public Schools to purchase two hydroponic grow towers, one for Morris students and one for LMMHS students to use!
Our newly formed middle school robotics team, "Enginuity 2B" won the Sportsmanship Award at the Berkshire County Robotics Challenge. We are all very proud of them!
For breakfast students had some fresh fruit and yogurt parfaits made with fresh strawberries, granola and Organic Vanilla Yogurt from Side Hill farm in Hawley, Mass.
This week's apples are Honeycrisp from Klein's Kill Fruit Farm in Germantown, New York, and Jonagold apples from Pine Hill Orchards in Colrain, Mass.
It has been a delicious week to be in Lenox!
LMMHS took a culinary trip around New England and New York with local foods from Massachusetts, Vermont, and New York. The salad bar had a baby spring mix from Little Leaf Farms in Danvers, Mass., roasted butternut squash from Plainville Farms in Hadley, Mass., and feta from Maplebrook Farms in North Bennington, Vt. Maplebrook Farms makes their own feta ( and other handmade artisan cheeses) with milk from their Vermont-raised cows. Pictured is a beautiful fresh strawberry and feta salad, tossed with Ms. Derouin's homemade balsamic dressing.
Over a third of the students at Morris decided to get breakfast at school this morning! And, it is no wonder as the bacon and eggs look delicious.

Shannon Gagliardo is doing some amazing and yummy things in our school cafeterias.
This week at Morris, students got to try local red skin potatoes, from Jekanowski Farm in Hadley Mass., that were used to make delicious home fries at breakfast and served with our ham egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches.
Our elementary salad bar was set up to make a harvest salad with carrot sticks from Kitchen Garden Farm in Sunderland Mass., local greenhouse grown Baby Green leaf and Baby spring Mix from Little Leaf Farms in Danvers, Mass., fresh broccoli and, something new to our students, some roasted Butternut squash from Plainville Farms in Hadley, Mass. Students also had the beautiful pickled vegetable salad (in the photo) using the local carrots and some purple daikon radish also from Kitchen Garden Farms.
