Partners For Enrichment
Brings Hawk Henries to
LCS
Once again Partners have provided
our students with a rich and meaningful
learning experience, this time via a visit
from musician, philosopher, and
craftsman Hawk Henries.
“Hawk has experience in many
settings ranging from formal
performance venues to communitybased workshops to participation in
local cultural events and dialogues.
Whether in a kindergarten classroom,
university event, Pow-Wow, cafe,
museum, concert venue, international
festival, or private gathering, Hawk
most especially enjoys engaging people
in dialogue.
Much of Hawk’s time with others is
spent sharing his experiences and
perspectives about life in hopes of
acknowledging and honoring the
Sacredness in each person and all
cultures. The flutes have always been a
powerful vehicle for this sharing. Not
only do you experience music from a
variety of different flutes, but he also
shares wonderful stories & humor that
reminds us of the gifts that Life has to
offer.” For more on Hawk visit
www.hawkhenries.com.
Right: Art recently created by our fourth
grade students is on display outside of Mrs.
Cooper’s room for all to enjoy!

engineer. He now spends his winters
building cedar and canvas canoes in his
barn in Rockport, one of which will be
on display as part of Maine Wood 2016
at the Messler Gallery in Rockport.

After School Garden Club -- Winter
Just because the days are getting cooler and shorter doesn’t mean we have to stop enjoying the garden. The garden
may be shut down for the winter but there is still plenty to do. During the After School Garden Club, we will be
cooking up a storm, and learning some great new recipes in the kitchen. We will also be looking outside to see what
continues to grow in the garden during the winter. And lastly we will be bringing the garden inside to us. We will
be growing seedlings, planning out our garden for the Spring, and taking care of our indoor plants to keep our green
thumbs in practice.
Join us rain, snow, or shine!
Wednesdays for grades 4-8
Jan 13, Feb 3, Feb 24, March 9
Wednesdays for grades K-3
Jan 20, Feb 10, March 2, March 16

attend every club meeting. Updates and garden club news will be posted in the weekly newsletter online.

The group will be capped at the first 12 students to sign up.

Weekly Lynx Recipe
This weekly recipe is here for you to share
with your family. The Kids Cook Monday
initiative encourages families to set aside the
first night of every week for cooking and
eating together as a family. When kids pitch
in making meals, they’re empowered to
consider the portions, the vitamins, and the
nutrients of what they’re eating. The Kids
Cook Monday provides examples of family
friendly recipes and video demonstrations
along with a free starter family dinner
toolkit- making it easy for families to cook
and eat together every Monday. Here is the

Garden takes a much needed winter rest

program, or to become a volunteer, stop by
the school and we will fill you in.
Mediterranean Hummus
Twice Baked Potatoes
Potato fans, rejoice! Here’s a unique way to
enjoy twice-baked potatoes brought to us by
our friends at Potato Goodness. Not only will
you enjoy a burst of flavor, but this recipe
also packs quite a nutrient punch.
Cooking Tip of the Week: Many plastic
wraps are microwave safe, but for best
results, make sure that there’s at least one
inch of space between the plastic wrap and
food.
Food for Thought: Paprika is a powder
made from ground chili peppers. It’s a
popular ingredient in many
Mediterranean recipes. The smoked variety is
made by drying the peppers over wood fires
and it brings a deep, woody flavor to recipes.
Other varieties of paprika include hot, sweet,
Spanish and Hungarian, but they all have one
thing in common – a beautiful deep red
color.
Family Dinner Conversation Starter: Is it
ever okay to lie?
Directions:
Together: Preheat oven to 425°F. Melt
spread in a medium skillet. Add onion and
cook over medium heat in a skillet for 10 to
15 minutes or until soft and lightly browned.
Together: While onions are cooking, place
potatoes in a medium microwave-safe bowl
and cover with plastic wrap. Make a small slit
to vent, then microwave on HIGH for 10
minutes or until potatoes are soft when
gently squeezed.
Together: Let cool slightly, then cut in half
and carefully scoop out potato leaving a 1/4inch shell.
Kid: Mash potatoes, then stir in cooked
onion, yogurt, hummus, roasted red bell
peppers, smoked paprika, garlic salt and
pepper.
Together: Place potato skins on a baking
sheet and fill with mashed potato mixture.
Bake for 20 minutes or until tops are lightly
browned. Top with slivered Kalamata olives,
if desired.
