mitted and eight recipes were chosen for the cook-off. Four recipes were chosen from Little Mountain and four recipes from Pinewood. All recipes were delicious. The Lettuce Satay Wraps prepared by Brody Drong, 4th Grader at Little Mountain
was the winning recipe . Congratulations, Future Chef, Brody Drong!

Are your children dressed for the weather?
Minnesota weather changes often in the Spring so
it is important to make sure our children are pre-
pared for going outside. Little Mountain students
go outside for recess and occasionally during gym
class. Appropriate clothing for the weather is essen-
tial for keeping our students comfortable while out-
side.
Since the weather conditions can vary from morn-
ing to afternoon recess, sweat-
shirts and jackets often get mislaid.
Please check the lost and found
regularly.

tain Elementary students will be performing
