✨ Yesterday we had a special visit from Margaret Garrett, the Regional Farm to School Coordinator with the Child Nutrition Cooperative at ESD 113! She trained our kitchen staff on how to use our new Robot Coupe, purchased with USDA Equipment Grant Funds.
🥕 Here you can see our team putting it to use right away—prepping fresh vegetables for the Hearty Beef Stew that was served for lunch today.
We are so grateful for the partnership and support from the Child Nutrition Cooperative at ESD 113. 💚

Wow! This week’s lunches were a hit — we had more students purchase meals than last week! 🎉
Did you know that out of our 30 lunch menu options, only one (the corndog) is a true heat-and-serve item? Our Food Services team has been kicking it up this year with more scratch-made and in-house prepared meals, and we’re so excited about it.
This week’s menu featured:
🍴 Corndogs
🍴 Sloppy Joes
🍴 Chicken Pozole (a teacher favorite!)
🍴 Teriyaki Chicken & Fried Rice
🍴 Pepperoni Pizza (our most popular choice with students!)
Every tray is pictured with fresh options from our updated salad bar, which now offers even more variety for students.
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to reach out to our Food Service Manager, Shantel Freeman at sfreeman@mmk.wednet.edu
.
We can’t wait to share what’s on the menu next week!

🦉 OWLS PRIDE IS SOARING! 🦉
What an incredible way to kick off our fall season! Our very first Pep Assembly of the year was absolutely AMAZING, and the energy in our gym was off the charts!
We are so proud to celebrate and recognize ALL of our fantastic fall sports teams:
🏈 Middle School Football
🏈 High School Football
🏐 Middle School Volleyball
🏐 High School Volleyball
📣 Our spirited Cheer squad
Watching our grade levels compete in football and volleyball challenges was pure joy - the enthusiasm, teamwork, and school spirit our students showed was simply outstanding! Every single student brought their A-game and made us incredibly proud.
And what a perfect way to cap off this amazing week - our High School Volleyball team secured their FIRST VICTORY of the season against Oakville! These talented young women showed exactly what Owl Pride looks like on the court! 🏆
To our athletes: You inspire us every day with your dedication, hard work, and sportsmanship. To our families and community: Thank you for your incredible support - it truly makes all the difference.

This program started last year, and we’re proud to continue it so students can enjoy a meal that works for them, helping them stay full, focused, and ready to learn. 💛

🍎🥗 Big things are happening in Food Service at MMK, and we’re so excited to share them with you!
✨ At the elementary school, our breakfast line has a fresh new look — students are now serving themselves! This gives them accountability, helps build GRIT, and has made breakfast service faster and easier.
🥛 We’ve also added a brand-new milk cooler, so students can quickly grab their own milk.
🍇 Plus, our salad bar has been revamped with more fruit options than ever before!
🍊 Our Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program (FFVP) is off to a fantastic start too. Curious about what’s on the FFVP menu? Check it out here 👉 Food Services Webpage: https://www.marymknight.com/page/food-services
We can’t wait for our students to enjoy these updates every day! 💚🤍

🏆 CELEBRATING OUR OWLS' SUCCESS! 🏆
What an incredible year it's been for Mary M. Knight athletics! Today, our Athletic Director took time to proudly display some of the amazing achievements our OWLS have earned this school year.

We're so proud to showcase these accomplishments in our hallways where our students, families, and community can see the incredible talent and determination of our Mary M. Knight OWLS. Each banner represents countless hours of practice, teamwork, and the unwavering support of our coaches, families, and community.

We’ve been busy making a few upgrades around campus lately… but this one might just steal the show! 😍✨
The next time you pull into the secondary parking lot, don’t just park and walk in — take a second, look up above the SPED room, and prepare to be wowed! We’ve added something brand new that we think you’re going to love just as much as we do.
Here it is — the before and after! We absolutely love how it turned out, and we think you will too. It’s bright, bold, and guaranteed to make you smile the second you see it.
