For me, June is always a time of reflection. The school year is coming to an end and summer is just around the corner. Although I love every day at Pathfinder School, our Graduation and Moving Up Ceremony is hands-down always my favorite. Even though we are sad to say, “So long!” to our graduating students, it is an opportunity to let them shine with one last hoorah!
This year’s Moving Up Day theme is Candyland—and boy, are we having fun with it! From creating lollipop forests to gumdrop mountains, to ice cream lakes and even some dancing M&Ms, the school gymnasium will be transformed next week into a sweet and colorful celebration!
Our year-end ceremony will definitely be featuring some sweet treats, but looking ahead to the summer break, there are some healthier alternatives to indulge in, especially with all the great fresh items at our weekly Pathfinder Produce. Here are a few favorites!
Perfect
Summer Fruit Salad
Sometimes you just need
a little bit of everything! This fruit salad has the perfect balance of sweet
and tart, with some added citrus for some zing! Check out the recipe here!
Tired of the same old garden salads? Add some bursts of texture and flavor to mix things up! Try adding grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a meal. You can read the full recipe here.
Watermelon Salad with Mint and Lime
Keep it simple and sophisticated with this refreshing snack or side dish! Check out the recipe here. Are you worried that you’ll pick the wrong watermelon? Make sure the watermelon feels heavy for its size, check it for a yellow spot—this indicates that the melon is ripe, and give it a tap! Watermelons that are perfectly ripe should sound hollow. Check out this article for more tips and tricks!
In closing, we offer our congratulations to members of the Class of 2018 at all our regional schools! All are welcome to join us at our celebration at Pathfinder School on Wednesday, June 20th at 1:00pm in the Pathfinder Gymnasium.
Well done, Grads, and happy summer!
Maura (and Lori)
