JR. IRON CHEF
On Tuesday, April 8, 2014 three members (Kaylah
Jacobs, Bailey Gouin, and Anastasia Stevens) of the Rebel Amigas, Leland and
Gray's Jr. Iron Chef team, traveled to the State House in Montpelier. The
students were among other Jr. Iron Chef teams who were recognized for winning
at the state competition on March 22, 2014. While in the House Chamber a
Resolution was read honoring the winning teams.
Following the Resolution reading and public
recognition the teams set up food preparation stations in the cafeteria where
they prepared their winning recipes for the legislators and other state
employees. While proudly serving their food they met local representatives,
Richard Marek and Carolyn Partridge.
After serving their food they were treated to lunch
in the cafeteria by Abbey Food Group's Chef Ray Wood. During lunch they were
joined by Karen Taylor Mitchell from the Governor's Institute who spoke with
the team about the Institute's Farm, Food & Your Future week.
Rebecca Sanborne Stone, a VT FEED consultant interviewed the team about their
participation in Jr. Iron Chef.
The Rebel Amiga's team was joined by co-coaches
Chef Joseph Gerardi, from the Abbey Group and Susan Jones, Family and
Consumer Science Teacher, as well as Victoria Chertok, 21 Century Coordinator,
all of Leland and Gray High School.
The visit to the State House was coordinated by Amy
Gifford, VT Feed and Jr. Iron Chef Coordinator.

A NOTE FROM MRS. JONES ABOUT

Do
you want to go to the prom, but can't afford an expensive dress or tux
rental. If so, go to the Thrift Shop in West Townshend. All dresses and tuxes
are only $12.00. Look for the flyers around school or see Mrs. Jones for shop
hours and more details.
A NOTE FROM THE SCHOOL NURSE
The Ticks are Out! The following is excerpted from the Vermont
Department of Health publication, Be Tick
Smart. The entire document can be
viewed at:
Lyme disease transmission can occur as
long as ticks are active, which is typically from early spring through late
fall. However, most infections in people happen in the spring and summer when
the small nymphs are most active. Adult ticks can also transmit Lyme disease,
but they are larger and easier to find and remove promptly. The tiny larvae
cannot transmit Lyme disease.
Deer ticks can also transmit two other
diseases called anaplasmosis and babesiosis, but they are much less common than
Lyme disease.
How can I prevent Lyme disease?
The best way to prevent Lyme disease is to prevent
tick bites.
While outdoors:
- Avoid high grass and bushy areas as
much as possible.
- Wear long pants and long-sleeved
shirts to minimize skin exposure to ticks.
- Tuck your pants into your socks to
form a barrier to keep ticks out.
- Wear light-colored clothing so you can
easily see ticks on your clothing.
- Check for ticks, looking particularly
for what may look like nothing more than a new freckle or speck of dirt,
and remove ticks promptly.
- Use effective tick repellents on your
skin or on your clothing.
When you come indoors:
- Check your body for ticks, and check
your children. Pay special attention to the head, armpits, and groin area.
Remove ticks promptly.
- Showering within a few hours of being
outside may also be helpful.
- Examine your gear and clothing. Put your
clothes in the dryer on high heat for an hour to kill any remaining ticks.
