Spotlight on Kwanzaa!
There is no way to understand and
appreciate the meaning and message of
Kwanzaa without understanding and
appreciating its profound and pervasive
concern with values. In fact. Kwanzaa's
reason for existence, its length of seven
days, its core focus and its foundation
are all rooted in its concern with values.
Kwanzaa inherits this value concern and
focus from Kawaida, the African
philosophical framework in which it
was created. The seven principles are
Umoja (unity), Kujichagulia (selfdetermination), Ujima (responsibility),
Ujamaa (cooperative economics), Nia
(purpose), Kuumba (creativity) and
Imani (faith).

We have recently made some
exciting and healthy changes to
our school menu. We have
added long grain brown rice as
a grain selection, as well as
hummus and low-fat string
cheese as snacks. You will also
see delicious new entrees like
Turkey meatballs and cheese
ravioli. We hope these updated
menu items will be a big hit
with our students! Pick up a
copy of our updated menu at
the front desk.
