How do you know when your kids are actually enjoying the homemade meal that you made just for them? When an entire cafeteria filled with almost one hundred students is silent - at lunchtime - eating their food. That's when you know.

And New Roots wants to share the feast with you. Ithaca's newest high school is serving up a second helping of its Spaghetti Dinner, the hearty American classic prepared by New Roots' own head chef Allyn Rosenbaum.

On Wednesday, March 10, New Roots invites the public and greater Ithaca community to the second annual Farm to School Benefit to support the school's meal program. Spaghetti Dinner will feature gluten-free pasta with vegetarian and meat sauce; bread, butter and salad; and blueberry-apple crisp with vanilla ice cream. Water, cider, coffee and tea will also be served.

The second annual Spaghetti Dinner takes place from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Women's Community Building, located in Downtown Ithaca at 100 West Seneca Street. The all-you-can-eat buffet is $10 for general public, and $5 for kids age six to ten. Children under the age of five can eat for free. Please call 607-882-9220 and select extension 100 with questions.

Directly following the Spaghetti Dinner will be a Parent-Teen Information Night, hosted at New Roots Charter School, for interested students and families. Principal Tina Nilsen-Hodges will be joined by members of the New Roots faculty and current student body to answer questions. The PTIN will take place from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. and registration is required. Please register by calling 607-882-9220 and selecting extension 100.
