There will be NO middle school girls' basketball games at Burrton on Thursday, December 1, 2022.
Our middle school basketball teams travel to Fairfield this afternoon. Games will begin at 4:00 with B team girls, followed by B team boys, A team girls, and A team boys.
Before leaving for Thanksgiving break, some of our #ZeroReasonsWhy crew led an activity, asking students and staff what they are thankful for. Having an attitude of gratitude is important for our mental health and wellbeing, not just this time of year but always!
Congratulations to the winners of the 'Caught you being good/kind/helpful/generally awesome' bicycles.
Student's names were put into a drawing for these bicycles, provided by the Biker Likers 4H group, every time they were caught being fabulous. We had a LOT of names in the drawing. Stafford kids RULE!
I am thankful for this: These students who noticed a classmate sitting alone and moved themselves to sit there.
Don't forget: HS wrestling (6:45) and basketball (7:00) parent meetings are this evening.
4H Choose Health and Fitness made their own nutrient packed salad and dressing this morning- working on making smart decisions in how we care for our bodies!

Stafford High School Culinary Arts students toured the Stafford County Flour Mill this morning. This is the first opportunity to tour the facility since their expansion and remodeling project. Students learned about the history of the mill and how the flour is milled and packaged. Students also learned about the many diverse job opportunities the company offers. The Stafford Culinary Arts Program is grateful for the support of the mill and is proud to exclusively use Hudson Cream Flour in our baking endeavors. Check out their website here: https://www.hudsoncream.com/ to learn about the history of the mill, their special milling process, and see the products they offer.
Stafford High School FCCLA members prepared the Core meal on Monday, with the assistance of each Culinary Class throughout the day. The menu included Chicken & Noodles, Mashed Potatoes, Buttered Corn, Rolls with Honey/Cinnamon or Whipped Butter, and Pumpkin Dream Cake with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting. FCCLA participates in many Service Learning projects throughout the school year that positively impact our school and community. Thank you to this group of members that volunteered to prepare and deliver the Core meal.
Don't forget: Middle school basketball parent meetings are tonight following practice.
What a perfect day to bake a little bread! This week, several classes were preparing various types of bread. Baking & Pastries students are learning about Enriched Yeast Breads and prepared several different types of Challah Bread. 8th Grade Students prepared shaped breads from a Country White Bread dough recipe. The braids and shapes turned out beautifully - of course we exclusively use Hudson Cream Flour! A big challenge in preparing any type of yeast bread is scheduling the 51 minute class periods throughout the week to end up with a product by Friday.
Students enrolled in Culinary Essentials are learning about the Kitchen Brigade system, including the Garde Manger, who is responsible for the preparation of salads. As we continue to practice and refine knife skills, students spent the week preparing vegetables and homemade Ranch and Cesar salad dressings. Students each designed a composed salad with various greens, vegetables, grilled chicken, and house made croutons.
