Do YOU have what it takes to take on a leadership role in the

PTSA? Answer: Yes you do! We need you! The PTSA cannot continue to do the work it does without a full board and standing chair roles filled. The following are elected

PTSA Board positions that still need to be filled:

President (must have) Co-VP Communications

Co-VP Volunteers In addition, we need to fill the following (not elected) standing

chair positions:

Advocacy Family and Community Engagement (FACE)

Issaquah Schools Foundation (ISF) Room Parent

What happens without a functioning PTSA? We risk losing essential programs: Art Docent, Science Fair, Art Walk, Culture

Night, Popcorn Fridays, Walkathon, Robotics, Math Club, Spooky Spaghetti, Eager Reader and much, much more! Come be a part

of the wonderful team that makes these things come to life!

If you ordered Eyewitness Cat by Juliet Clutton-Brock, I Really Like Slop! by Mo Willems, or Don’t Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late! also by Mo Willems, and sent the book directly to school from Amazon, please email Darcy Dawson, Birthday Book Club chair, at dawson.darcy@gmail.com.

FOOD OF THE MONTH

Our food of the Month is Bok Choy!

The Chinese have been cultivating the vegetable for more than 5,000 years.

Bok choy’ is also known as ‘bok choi’, ‘buk choy’ ‘white cabbage’, ‘Chinese chard’, ‘Chinese cabbage’, ‘Chinese savoy’,

‘Chinese white cabbage’, ‘white Chinese cabbage’, ‘Chinese mustard’, ‘Chinese mustard cabbage’, ‘spoon cabbage’, ‘pak

choy’ and ‘pak choi’.

A deep green leafy vegetable that resembles Romaine lettuce on top and a large celery on the bottom, bok choy is a

crucifer more closely related to cabbage.

Bok choy can also be steamed or boiled, but the stir fry method of cooking seems to release the best flavors. Kimchee is

the Korean name for pickled bok choy. When shredded, it makes great coleslaw. An alternate take: try bok choy sautéed

with ginger and garlic. All these are ideal methods of preparation for a ready-made food that also happens to be loaded

with life-giving nutrients.

Kimchi is a traditional fermented Korean side dish made of vegetables with a variety of seasonings. When early Koreans

started an agricultural lifestyle, they ate salted vegetables to aid in the digestion of grains. The average king’s table would

have kimchi.
