Chelsea’s two elementary schools competed in the Fruit & Veggie Challenge, each trying to eat more servings of fruits and vegetables than the other.  The conclusion of the challenge was the Wacky Winter Olympics, which brought both schools together to watch the teachers compete in a variety of odd events.

(Oh, and just FYI: hundreds of elementary school-aged kids in one small gym is hard on the ears.)


This sign isn’t referencing me.  There are other Mr. Strongs in Chelsea, you know.


What?  This is how principals dress these days.


See?


The Jiffy Redemption

During a recent viewing of the movie The Shawshank Redemption, my eagle-eyed sister made a surprising discovery.

In a scene near the end of the movie, Morgan Freeman is bagging groceries; as the camera pans, a shelf full of products is visible just beyond Freeman.  Here’s a screenshot from the scene:

See those boxes on the shelf?  If you’re from Chelsea, you may have already recognized Chelsea’s well-known export, the famous blue and white box:

It’s impossible to tell which Jiffy Mix is in the boxes, but it certainly looks like the famous blue and white boxes from Chelsea Milling Company are sharing the screen with Morgan Freeman!
