LOST AND FOUND - If your child has lost anything at school, be sure to check the lost and found by the gym and see if it is there. A lot of items have accumulated waiting on their owner to claim them.
This month, students and staff will sample "Spinach Biscuit Quiche" during their lunchtime taste tests. The spinach was grown by Dripping Springs Market Garden in Huntsville, Arkansas.
March 26 is National Spinach Day, and in Alma, Arkansas, the Chamber of Commerce holds an annual spinach festival every April. Alma claims itself to be the "spinach capital of the world." Did you know that in the 1930s spinach growers created Popeye the Sailor Man to increase spinach consumption. They saw a 33% increase - a significant boost during the Great Depression.
If students or staff like the recipe, it is available here. The recipe was also sent home to families via PeachJar. You can follow us at @whatsforlunchfayetteville on Instagram.
