5 A Day the Color Way

This week UMS is celebrating wellness in a few fun ways! The Colchester Food Service program has purchased a large smoothie making station to be shared between our schools' lunch rooms and today UMS had the chance to try it out! At lunch today fruit and vegetable smoothies were made for everyone to try at lunch. The smoothie recipe, created by one of our second graders, is coming home with students today so you can try it at home! Tomorrow the smoothie station is moving on for the other schools in town to try but after April break each of the five schools will get to have it in the cafeteria for a whole week. Today everyone got to try a smoothie but during the week we have it after break it will only be available for children ordering hot lunch. I will try to let you know ahead of time when that will be.

As our other way to celebrate wellness this week everyone is encouraged to wear a different fruit/veg color each day!

Monday RED
Tuesday YELLOW/ORANGE
Wednesday WHITE
Thursday GREEN/BLUE
Friday BLUE/PURPLE
