“Starch Madness” is a new idea to get everyone excited and involved in the decision-making process about food options. The fun bracket style activity keeps things competitive and engaging. Plus, it’s a creative way to encourage kids to learn about different starches and consider new meal ideas.
“Starch Madness” is a great way to build excitement around school meals and get feedback directly from the students on what they love. We plan to share our results with the cafeteria to help generate new food ideas!
Here are a few match-ups that the Foods class decided on:
curly fries vs. regular fries
mac & cheese vs. fettucine alfredo
fried rice vs. spaghetti
bagel vs. hashbrown
rice pudding vs. cinnamon rolls
grilled cheese vs. sliders
waffle fries vs. tots
What starchy foods are on your list?

Recently, our Middle/High School Social Studies teachers attended the New York State Council for Social Studies Conference, where they explored innovative teaching strategies to bring back to their classrooms! From engaging students in inquiry-based learning to using AI tools and real-world simulations, they're always looking for ways to make history, government, and economics come alive for our student population.
Stay tuned for more updates as they bring these new ideas to life in their classrooms!

6th Grade Pasta Tower Project: The students’ objective was to construct a building that could withstand an “earthquake” simulated by an earthquake plate using pasta, hot glue, and a few other materials. Students learned the engineering process behind earthquake safe buildings. Before the building process began students created, to scale, blueprints for their towers. The blueprint designs had to show the “top view” and the “side view” of the building. To create their 3-D buildings, students replicated the top view 4 times to create the ceiling, floors, and base. The other sections of the tower were constructed by replicating the side view 4 times to create the walls for their towers.
