The 2023 American Honey Queen and Princess visited Redgranite third grade students today. These ladies travel across the US to educate people about honey, beekeeping, and the importance of pollination. The ladies shared their knowledge of honey bees with the students. The children were "buzzing" with excitement after the presentation.

The Riverview Character Education Committee would like to present January’s Community Character Trait Award to the Heartland House for Respect. The Heartland House is an assisted living facility where those who live there are treated with the utmost respect daily. Their employees do all they can to care for those who live there, and to help them live with
dignity. They know that the people living there have many needs and rights, and make sure to respect those needs and rights on a daily basis. Those who work at the Heartland House follow the golden rule of respect; they treat others, the people who live there, how they want to be treated. This is why we think Heartland House and those who work there are a great example of treating others with respect, and we are thankful for the respect they give and the care they show for others.
The Redgranite Student Council wished a "Happy Birthday" to students and staff who celebrate birthdays in January and that will celebrate birthdays in July. Happy birthday!

The Wautoma Area School District is Closed Today, January 19th.
Thursday's feature is Chinese Broccoli. With authentic flavors of fresh ginger, fresh garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, hoisin and soy sauce. It is believed this iconic dish likely originated from a Chinese dish called Gai Lan Chao Niu Rou or “Chinese Broccoli Fried Beef“ Your student is able to sample this dish with their hot lunch. Steamed broccoli will be served as well.
Chinese cuisine is one of the oldest in the entire world, reaching all the way back to the first millennia BC, managing to survive, evolve and grow into the behemoth it is today using countless techniques provided not only by cooks, but also fashion trend setters and traditional herbal medicine.

The Wautoma Area School District COVID-19 Testing Site at the World War II Memorial Building is Closed Today.
Wednesday's feature is Greek Tzatziki Sauce! It will be served with our stuffed pepperoni calzones on the hot lunch line!
Tzatziki is a traditional Greek garlic, yogurt and cucumber sauce that is known and loved around the world. It is also known as “gyro sauce”, because it is commonly used in stuffed pita bread with gyro meat (souvlaki). Tzatziki is cool and refreshing with a creamy and light texture.
More than any other nation in the Ottoman Empire, the Greeks enjoyed this dish immensely. However, they also experimented with this classic cucumber and yogurt dip until its Indian roots were almost invisible. Tzatziki (derived from the Turkish word cacık) was born. The sauce is documented as early as 1876.
On Wednesday our kitchens are making this sauce from scratch!
