As we approach the end of the year, we thought it would be great to have one large, whole-school Farmer\u2019s Market for our final market. If your family is willing and able to participate, we would love to welcome your wares. We do want the items to be student-made so, should you choose to join us, please help your student in: crafting, creating, growing, baking, or cooking whatever they choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We ask that families follow some of our simple guidelines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25cf Please find sustainable ways to present your product. We would love to avoid things like lots of plastic packaging or single-use items. We will be asking the whole community to bring their own bags, plates\/bowls, cups, and utensils, so that they can enjoy their purchased products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25cf Consider making items out of recycled materials or leftover crafts, so that we do not create extra waste and, instead, use what we have!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25cf Please use your creativity with recipes so that we are avoiding heavily processed or sugary foods\u2013sweets are great, but consider what alternatives to sugar can be used when crafting your delicious delicacies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25cf There\u2019s no need to make something for the entire student population! I\u2019m sure we will have a lot to buy, so think around 15-30 pieces to sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25cf Please no store-bought items. On the day of the market, you may bring items directly to Ashley!\u2019s classroom at the beginning of the school day. Please also create a sign for your item that includes ingredients, what the item is, and perhaps a picture of the item! Families are welcome to come to the market from 12:30-1:00 as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you, all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>~Ashley!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u27a4 Upcoming Friday, May 3 \u2013\u00a0 1:15 Dismissal for all | May Day @ 5:30 PMFriday, May 10 \u2013\u00a0 No SchoolMonday, May 27 \u2013 No School (Memorial Day)Monday, June 3 \u2013\u00a0 PA MeetingFriday, June 7 \u2013 8th Grade Graduation &amp; Carnival\u00a0Monday 8\/12 5:30-7pm MANDATORY Back to School Orientation &nbsp;\u27a4 May Day Our May Day Festival [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15105","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.villagecharterschool.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15105","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.villagecharterschool.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.villagecharterschool.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.villagecharterschool.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.villagecharterschool.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15105"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.villagecharterschool.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15105\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15106,"href":"https:\/\/www.villagecharterschool.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15105\/revisions\/15106"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.villagecharterschool.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15105"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.villagecharterschool.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15105"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.villagecharterschool.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15105"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
