Meatball sub sandwich with roasted sweat potatoes and delicata Squash. Mighty meatballs over whole grain penne pasta with roasted Brussel sprouts. Chicken quesadilla with roasted peppers and lime chili corn. Turkey chili made with turkey from local Ferndale Farms served over a baked potato. Great Lakes Apple Crunch and Fridley High School Welcomes Visitors! All over the Midwest, students "crunched" into local apples on October 11th to celebrate the Great Lakes Apple Crunch. This year we were joined with visitors from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, the Minnesota Department of Education, The Good Acre and Senator Carolyn Laine. Our guests and students enjoyed pulled turkey sandwiches, creamy coleslaw, roasted delicata squash from Seeds Farm , Northfield, MN and SweetTango Apples from Pine Tree Apple Orchard, White Bear Lake, MN. Superintendent Dr. Kim Hiel participated in the Apple Crunch with our high schoolers. Every fall, we serve a variety of Minnesota apples from Pine Tree Apple Orchard of White Bear Lake, MN. Below students from Haye's Elementary are showing off their delicious, crisp apples!
