The Weekly Dish XLVII
February 2024
Greetings Spartan Families,
I would like to thank all of you for following our current pick up and drop off procedures. Please be aware that in the mornings drop off does not take place in front of the administration office. If for some reason that we are not able to follow this procedure, we will place security at that entrance/exit to detour this from happening.
We will also be adjusting the entrance for drop off and pick up at the marquee gate. We will have a new map and procedures that will be sent out within the next few weeks.
Fruit and Ice Cream
Recipe:
Strawberry and Pineapple Salad
2 cans of Chunk Pineapple
½ bag of sliced strawberries
2 box sugar free instant vanilla or banana cream pudding
Directions:
Drain the 2 cans of pineapple into a bowl. Mix in the pudding and mix with the juice. Combine the pineapples and strawberries into the mixture.
Best enjoyed over vanilla ice cream.
My son calls this fruit and ice cream and tries to eat it every night.
