Southwest Middle School 5K Tiger TrotSouthwest Middle School would like to thank the Volunteers, Sponsors, Parents, Staff, and

Students who assisted with the 9th Annual Tiger Trot held on April 18, 2015. This annual event is done in collaboration with the Albert Lea Family Y and is our only school-wide fundraiser helping us provide student educational experiences and assist in meeting students’ needs.

This year saw the addition of Online Registration, Bar Code Scanning at the Finish Line, New Signage (Alpha Orthodontics), Businesses using our event for Worksite Wellness

HealthMarketEasy Steps to a Jar Salad Jar salads are quick and easy to make, and can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.

• Bottom layer: Put your favorite dressing in a jar or container like a Mason Jar. This keeps your delicate greens from getting too soggy.

• Your next layer may include a protein like chicken or nuts, or more hardy vegetables or fruit such as celery, apples or pears.

• The third layer may include cheese, dried cherries or seeds. • The fourth layer will include fruit such as berries, mandarin oranges or grapes. • The final layer is salad greens. Shake just before eating and enjoy!
