happy earth day!

4/22/2022

 
This week, to celebrate Earth Day, students got to partake in our final "healthy eating" event of the school year. 
All year, our AmeriCorps member, Rachel has been encouraging students to explore  flavor combinations that highlight vegetables, herbs, and flowers grown at the School Farm, along with other local fruits and vegetables.
For Earth Day week, students got to sample Oat Bars made with homemade applesauce and topped with student made apple jam. Multigrain crackers with herbed yogurt dip and edible flowers. And a "earth tea" steeped with herbs and flowers, all from the School Farm.
Along with preparing elements of the item, 5th and 6th grade students served their younger classmates and were able to share information about each sample that was being tasted.
