Located behind Big Surf Water Park on the land that was once the Rio Salado Golf Course, Singh Meadows is now a 72-acre farm, farmers market, cafe and juice bar. While the café menu changes from week to week, the creative selections are sure to tempt. Lemony hummus, chimichurri-topped meatless meatballs, arugula, mozzarella and beet salad, and fresh breads and pretzels are some of the inventive dishes you can buy and take home, or spread out on a blanket to enjoy a picnic in the meadow. A variety of fresh produce is also available. October means farmers market season By Nick Smith A sense of helpless horror was felt by Americans across the country over the past several weeks, as hurricanes devastated cities in Texas and Florida. Although the storms have passed, the communities affected are just starting the long process of rebuilding. Several Valley schools have been trying to find ways to help victims of the hurricanes, with students leading many of the causes. At Xavier College Preparatory, student council officers raised money for Catholic Charities USA’s hurricane relief fund by instituting “Buck-A-Sweans Day” at the school. Xavier students usually wear uniforms, but on Thursday, September 7, they were allowed to wear jeans to school if they contributed at least $1 to the hurricane relief drive. Many students went well beyond a single dollar, collecting donations from parents and neighbors. Students and faculty also filled 10 large boxes with athletic apparel for students in the Houston area. The boxes were added to donations collected by other athletic directors throughout the state. “Helping those in need is integral to Xavier’s mission,” said Sister Lynn Winsor, BVM, Xavier’s vice principal for activities and athletic director. “Our young women truly answered the call to aid the many people impacted by the recent hurricanes.” At Madison Highland Prep, students began collecting cases of water for victims of Hurricane Harvey. The goal of the relief fund was to collect more than 100,000 bottles of water, but the donations blew past that, surpassing the 220,000 mark in late September. Student body officers worked with the American Red Cross in Phoenix to get the water to locations where it was needed most. Donations could be dropped off at Madison Highland Prep in Phoenix, or at Highland Prep in Surprise. “Potable water is scarce following an event of this magnitude,” said Tim Kane, a history teacher at Highland Prep in Surprise, who helped organize the relief effort with students. “This is a once-in-a -lifetime event, and we want to help students look at things bigger than themselves.” Students at Ingleside Middle School have also been doing their part to help. The school has been taking part in “Penny Wars” where each class competes to collect the most cash to send to hurricane victims. Lauren Ohanesian, a science teacher who is a survivor of Hurricane Katrina, adopted a first-grade classroom at Mauriceville Elementary School in Orange, Texas, a suburb of Houston. She is helping to collect gift cards and pencils for the school. “I think the relief efforts have been absolutely amazing,” said Erin Alaimo, director of marketing and public relations for Xavier. “These are the students who are going to become our leaders, and it is so encouraging to see how many of them have good hearts that are backed with can-do attitude. It really instills a great deal of hope for the future.” Neighborhood schools pitch in to help hurricane victims Left: The Xavier College Preparatory community donated nearly $30,000 to Catholic Charities USA’s Hurricane Harvey relief efforts.
