make these!
sandwich kebabs
M
y youngest son Oliver and I had so much fun making sandwich kebabs! We made ours with cut-up pieces of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, along with grapes, strawberries, and blueberries, but you could make yours with any type of sandwich and fruit! Fun to put in a lunchbox or for an afterschool snack. Obviously you need to be careful if your little one is going to treat the skewer like a sword, but it’s great for hand-eye coordination if they can handle it. - Sarah Danis

“Bee” there! The Teacher Reuse Store is an amazing free resource available to area teachers where they can get free donated supplies for school! The Teacher Reuse Store is open to any teacher in Athens-Clarke, Madison, Oconee and Oglethorpe counties. Public school, private school, and homeschool teachers are welcome to “shop.” The goal of the Teacher Reuse Store is to provide usable materials to teachers for no cost and reduce the amount of waste disposed in our local landfill. If you have some extra supplies that you are able to donate to this great cause, they would love to have them! It’s located at CHARM (Center for Hard-to-Recycle Materials) at 1005 College Avenue, Athens. Currently, the Teacher Reuse Store is seeking donations of the following items and more: general office supplies (file folders, binders, clip boards, labels, stickers, paper, pencils, pens, rulers, art supplies, backpacks), unusual items (glass bottles, science equipment, bottle caps), and furniture (shelves, bookcases, desks, chairs, file cabinets).
