Advisory Update;
The middle school students have continued to learn about food and food related issues. Before the holidays we all worked together to pack 120 lunches for the Common Pantry. (Parents, thank you for your donations.) Students also prepared their Food Footprints Projects which continue to be on display in the library.
Today the middle schoolers had the privilege of hearing guest speaker Peter Klein of Seedling, Inc., talk about his farm. Pete is an alumni dad and many of our kids have actually been to his farm in Michigan and have all benefitted from the fruit peaches and apples that used to be donated to the school for snacks. Today they enjoyed hearing about the growing process; what fruits and vegetables they choose to plant, the timetable for planting, pruning, and selling, etc. As a special treat, students were able to sample Seedling apple cider. This experience was a great follow up to the field trip that was taken in October to Green City Market.
