Happy Halloween from the staff at Brookeside Montessori
The Brookeside Montessori staff coordinated outfits to be a rainbow of fruit. We had apples, a pineapple, an orange, lemons, grapes, a kiwi, and a strawberry. Delicious!
Amazing Raise – We Surpassed Our Goal!
We surpassed our goal of $4,000 for the Amazing Raise Campaign. The TriCounty Community Network just informed us this week what our total amount is with the matched funds, almost $6,500!
Cauliflower: This Week’s Healthy Snack
This week's healthy snack is Cauliflower grown in Lancaster County. Cauliflower is good for a child’s bones, muscles, and digestive system. A cup of cauliflower has about 25 calories and will provide more than three quarters of the vitamin C recommended for a day. This helps build your immunity and reduces the lengths of colds. It contains vitamin B6 which helps in brain development, manganese which boots your metabolism, and potassium which helps maintain your muscles, heart, and kidneys.
Bridge Educational Foundation Donation
The foundation, through the support of Waste Management, announced the donation of $7,000 of scholarship money to the families of Berks County. Scholarship funds are made possible through Pennsylvania's Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program. Ms. Crystal Davis posed in a photo with Mr. Brian Furhman from Waste Management, Senator Bob Mensch, and Representative David Maloney.
