Thank you to the Moms who attended the Parent Advisory Meeting: Kathe Petchel, Jennifer Smith, Oana Moore, Mara Kuznar, PJ Gilbert, Meg Heubeck, Mary Anne O’Dea, Isabel Mattioli, Amy Ramsey, Tricia Williams, Kristina Hughes. It was a great exchange of information and your support and feedback as always is welcome. We got the opportunity to share all of the wonderful Lollipop Shop purchases that were made this week. A goal at Bright beginnings is to offer children healthy snack and lunch choices. We have been trying out many new recipes and had a “taste testing” at our meeting of the following treats:

Organic Peanut Butter Hershey Kiss Cookies

• 1 c. Jif peanut butter
• 1 c. “Sugar in the raw” (Natural Cane Turbinado)
• 1 organic brown egg

Mix all ingredients. Form into balls. Bake 7-8 min. at350 degrees. Put chocolate kiss on top immediately. Enjoy!
