The Greenville Goal Getter team is hoping to have another Family Swim Night to end the Spring Session.  Details will follow at a later date.

I am hoping to get the families more involved this session. I will be sending home challenges with the students so their families can also be involved. 
The picnic was a big hit so I am going to try to get that organized so we can have it again. I am also going to try to get families together and meet over in Gettysburg to walk the bike/walking trail.  

I really hope the kids enjoy another session of the Greenville Goal Getters.  If any one has ideas or suggestions, please feel free to contact me at South Middle School.

Oatmeal Cupcakes To Go

(makes 24-25 cupcakes)

Adapted from: Cookie Dough Baked Oatmeal.

• 5 cups rolled oats (400g)
• 2 1/2 cups over-ripe mashed banana, measured after mashing (For all substitution notes on this recipe, see nutrition link below.) (600g)
• 1 tsp salt
• 5 NuNaturals stevia packets (or omit and use 5 tbsp of any liquid sweetener instead)
• optional: 2/3 cup mini chocolate chips
• 2 2/3 cups water (640g) (If using the liquid-sweetener option, scale water back to 1 1/3 cups)
• 1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp oil (45g) (I really like coconut, but veg oil will also work. For lower-fat substitution notes, see nutrition link below.)
• 2 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• optional add-ins: cinnamon, shredded coconut, chopped walnuts, ground flax or wheat germ, raisins or other dried fruit, etc.

Preheat oven to 380 F, and line 24-25 cupcake tins. In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients and stir very well. In a separate bowl, combine and stir all wet ingredients (including banana). Mix wet into dry, then pour into the cupcake liners and bake 21 minutes. I also like to then broil for 1-2 minutes, but it’s optional. These oatmeal cakes can be eaten right away, or they can be frozen and reheated for an instant breakfast on a busy day.
