Cross Country National Meet Dominic and Ashlyn participated in the National Lutheran Cross Country

Championships over the weekend at Concordia. There were 43 teams from 6

different states and about 200 runners in the 7-8th grade divisions, boys and girls re-spectively. It was a tough race - rainy, muddy and very windy.

Our team did awesome! Ashlyn medaled, achieved her best time, and earned Third Team All-American. Dominic ran an amazing race, setting his own PR. Both students showed great determination and gave their all by using their God-given talents. We are so proud of you!

Vegetable of the Month

The rutabaga is a Wisconsin-grown vege-table that is available from October through early February. In fact, Cumber-land, Wisconsin hosts a Rutabaga Festival every August to celebrate this vegetable. The rutabaga is a root vegetable that is believed to be a cross between a cabbage and a Swedish turnip. The rutabaga gets its name from the Swedish word “rotabagge”which means “round root”. The yellow-orange flesh is a good source of fiber, potassium, and vitamin C. It also contains magnesi-um, folate, calcium, phosphorus, thiamine, and vitamin B6.

The rutabaga can be served raw or cooked. Uncooked rutabaga can be sliced and eaten for a healthy snack or it can be diced or chopped and added to salads or coleslaw for some added crunch. It can be baked, boiled, roasted, steamed, and stir-fried. It can be served separately, mashed together with potatoes, or added to soups and stews.
