Did you know that all of our bread products are made from scratch here at Livingston Manor Central School District? We use 100% USDA Organic Flour from Trumansburg (near Ithaca). Our bread only has seven ingredients in it and is made fresh multiple times a week. And the bread doesn't go to waste. Scraps are used for making the breadcrumbs used in items such as meatballs, and are dried out to be used as croutons on our salad bar. #FarmToSchoolFriday
Please see the following message from the state Education Department:
Dear parent or guardian please let this serve as a reminder that you should not share personal or financial information over the phone with unsolicited callers. If you receive such a call, hang up immediately. We are sending this reminder because parents and/or guardians of children who have recently taken an SAT or PSAT exam have been receiving scam calls requesting personal information, including a credit card number, to mail the test results.
Additional tips about how to protect yourself from SAT test-related scams can be found on the Better Business Bureau website (https://www.bbb.org/article/news-releases/23883-bbb-scam-alert-watch-out-for-sat-prep-scams) and below:
• Always be wary of unsolicited callers: If you receive a random call from someone asking for payment, research their organization before sharing any personal information.
• Double check with your child: If someone claims they're calling because of a service your child requested, hang up and check with your child first.
• Understand the College Board's practices: The College Board will never ask you for your bank or credit card information over the phone or through email.
• Don't give your financial information to strangers: Never agree to pay a stranger with any form of payment for a purchase you didn't initiate.
Thank you,
