🍝 Nutrition Expedition at Ramsay!!
The Nutrition Group continued the Nutrition Expedition program today at Ramsay, and students had a delicious learning experience.
A new dish was featured—cheese tortellini with marinara sauce—and students interacted with an engaging display highlighting fun facts about Italian food. It was wonderful to see students exploring new flavors while learning about food, culture, and nutrition.
Check out a few highlights from today’s event below! 📸✨

🕯️ Colonial Experience Day at Ramsay Elementary!! 🕯️
Students stepped back in time as they rotated through hands-on, colonial-themed activity stations that brought history to life. From practicing cursive quill writing and creating quilts to making butter, designing silhouettes, exploring colonial trades, and playing colonial games, learning was active, engaging, and fun!!
A great example of cross-curricular learning—and a day our students are sure to remember!! 🧺✒️🎲
