Don’t forget the pantry during spring cleaning

From Tammy Roberts, Nutrition and Health Education Specialist

 You use the pantry every day but it is easy to overlook when you are cleaning. It may seem like a daunting task but it really doesn’t take long. When you get the pantry clean, be sure to re-stock with some healthy staples.

“Spring cleaning is not complete until you have cleaned the pantry” said Tammy Roberts from University of Missouri Extension. She recommends you start by removing everything from the pantry, putting the food that has expired directly in the trash can.

Spices sometimes don’t have expiration dates on them. You can keep some spices 2-3 years but just know that they start to lose their potency after six months. If you want to get the most out of your spices, you should replenish them regularly. As a rule of thumb, whole spices such as cloves and nutmeg can last up to two years.

Adrian ranks very high in U.S.A Best High Schools


The Adrian R-III Secondary Building (6-12) received a bronze award from US NEWS AND WORLD REPORT. Nearly 22,000 public secondary schools in 49 states and the District of Columbia were evaluated by the American Institutes for Research using U.S. News' state rankings methodology. The schools included in the evaluation process were identified as having twelfth-grade enrollment and sufficient data to analyze, primarily from the 2009-2010 school year. Two percent, or the top 500 schools, were awarded gold status; 7 percent, or approximately 1,500 schools, were awarded silver status; 13 percent, or almost 2,900 schools, were awarded bronze status; and the remaining 78 percent did not receive a medal.

To produce the 2012 U.S.News & World Report Best High Schools rankings, U.S. News teamed up with the Washington, D.C.-based American Institutes for Research (AIR), one of the largest behavioral and social science research organizations in the world.

AIR implemented U.S. News's comprehensive rankings methodology, which is based on the key principles that a great high school must serve all of its students well, not just those who are college-bound, and that it must be able to produce measurable academic outcomes to show the school is successfully educating its student body across a range of performance indicators.
