Carving this weekend? Here’s an easy way to rescue those seeds! 🎃 🌱

Drop the seeds and pulp in a bowl of water and work it gently with your hands. The seeds float and the pulp sinks. Strain, rinse, dry, and you’ve got a snack!

Quadarius Whitson, our extension instructor for culinary nutrition, says pumpkin seeds go way beyond roasting. Try them in salads, oatmeal, granola, muffins, or even pesto 😋

Lakeside School District students participated in the Get Real: Here’s the Deal simulation today! 💰📚

Students had the opportunity to learn valuable, real-life financial skills, including bank accounts, savings, deposits, credit, debit, and balancing a checkbook. They visited different stations and made real-life financial decisions, such as purchasing a home, buying a car and insurance, paying for childcare, and so much more! 🏠🚗💳

This hands-on experience gave students a chance to see firsthand how the financial choices they make can impact their everyday lives. What a great day of learning and preparing for the future! 👏🏼

Thank you to Mrs. Tammie Marshall and Mrs. Debra Jones for letting us conduct this wonderful program with the students!
