Students in Marlea Liguori’s Grade 4 class at Ellenville Elementary School recently put science into action. They created "spool racers" out of spools, rubber bands, and pencils. Students had to create the device, wind it up, and make observations. Once wound and set free, the spool racer would be propelled across the floor, transferring the energy from the rubber band to the spool. Science is cool!

The Ellenville school cafeterias will be offering an exciting Farm-to-School menu this week! On Thursday, December 7, the food services crew will be serving up venison stew, made with venison from Highland Farm in Germantown, New York.
Did you know that venison is a red meat that is high in protein and has lots of vitamins and minerals? This venison was not hunted but rather raised at Highland Farm. (You can find Highland Farm at the Kingston Farmer’s Market every Saturday!)
To go with the stew, there will be Milestone Mill’s tortilla chips, made using local corn from the Hudson Valley Farm Hub. To finish off the meal, beet brownies with beets from Dagele Brothers Farm in Goshen and whipped cream from Clark’s Farm Creamery in Delhi will be served.
Students, be sure to join us in the cafeteria for a taste!

Recently, Ellenville students and families enjoyed another free community workshop, this one titled “Practicing Mindfulness.” Held in the Junior/Senior High School Media Center on November 16, this relaxing workshop gave participants the opportunity to slow their minds and get creative—by painting! Under the direction of Olivia Ingalsbe of the Ellenville Rural Health Network, parents and children spent a peaceful hour creating fun free-style canvas paintings together, and had a great keepsake to remember this valuable family time. Take a look at their works and be sure to watch out for information about our next community workshop!
