Monday February 2, 2026

According to the Google, today is National Tater Tot Day.  If you want to enjoy this delicious potato snack, you should cook them at 425 for 25 minutes in the oven or for 10-12 minutes at 400 in an airfryer.  Oh and if you don’t know what Tater Tots are, that might be because you eat the McCain version which are referred to as Tasti Taters.  Same thing…just corporate branding!  

We want to welcome two new staff members to Birchwood today.  Mrs. Carrie Collicutt is taking over for Mrs. Connolly and Azeem Munuwar is taking over for Ms. Morrison as both Mrs. Connolly and Ms. Morrison are taking leaves.  If you see Mrs. Collicutt or Mr. Munawar in the building, introduce yourself and welcome them to our Cobra family.
