Harvest Fest Letter

Hello, Room 101-

Due to our delayed return from last Friday's field trip, I was not able to send this letter home to you. Please consider donating to this activity. Thank you.

The EC team is planning a Harvest Fest on Thursday, November 3, 2016. At this event each classroom will be making a recipe to share with everyone. Our class will be making Squash Soup. I am requesting for your help and support in purchasing the ingredients. Please find below the things we will need:

• ·      Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• ·      Yellow Onions
• ·      8 pounds of chopped butternut squash (I saw this at Costco.)
• ·      12 small carrots
• ·      1 gallon Apple Cider (not Vinegar)
• ·      Curry Powder
• ·      Cinnamon
• ·      Nutmeg
• ·      3 cans of pumpkin puree
• ·      2 blocks salted butter
• ·      Cream cheese (Neufchatel)
• ·      Brown sugar
• ·      Heavy whipping cream
• ·      20 cups of Vegetable Broth (either canned or boxed)
• ·      Pumpkin Seeds

We would also like to borrow:

• ·      a slow cooker (I have mine but we need an extra one to make soup for everyone)
• ·      Mixing bowls (sturdy and stable)
• ·      Child-sized safety knives
• ·      Whisk

My idea is for the students to prepare the whole recipe. I can’t wait to see their proud faces! Our recipe calls for some ingredients to be sautéed but we will not be doing that for safety reasons. The children will (Practical Life skills!!) cut, peel and mix the ingredients in the slow cooker. We will hope for the best! hehehe. =)

More info will be sent home on Monday.

Thank you for your continued support.
