To celebrate National Farm to School Month, DCS cafeterias will feature the following local MI products:

• Week of 10/1-10/5 cherry tomatoes
• Week of 10/8 -10/12- rainbow carrots
• Week of 10/14-10/19 winter squash

This is just a sample of the local Michigan products that will be served. Students should look for the mitten logo in the cafeteria to purchase other Michigan sourced products.

Garden Club News:

Creekside after school Garden Club has also been busy in the garden and kitchen.  Students have made yummy, healthy dishes of ratatouille, spaghetti squash, sautéed zucchini, and butternut squash soup.  Sounds delicious!
