Day of Service
Student Services
May Events
Cafe Hope
A representative from Cafe Hope joined us in May to talk about their program and to talk with our garden club about the farm to table aspects of the program. Students had a great time learning about the program and sampling food prepared with food grown on Cafe Hope's own farm!
Lunch and Learn Series
Students were treated to two lunch and learn events in May. Students met with a hairstylist to learn more about the various programs of study available to them. Students also had the opportunity to meet with an EMT/Paramedic.
Farmer's Market Field Trip
As part of the Farm to School grant, Garden Club students were able to take a field trip to learn more about the Crescent City Farmer's Market. Students were treated to a tour of the market and were able to sample local produce.
