Cheers and have a great week...       Judy Doherty, PC II Publisher 800-462-2352     Perspective on Portions and Budgets   I’m always looking for ways to save money. But sometimes I forget that there are different ways to look at things. We as teachers need to remember to look at our students’ perspective, especially when talking about food.   Take a closer look at portion control.     Gluten-Free Poster   The Gluten-Free Is Easy Poster explains what gluten is and where is may be found.
