The whole school is involved in our farm stand - from inventorying, to delivering leftovers to the soup kitchen, to choosing recipes and cooking in class! The second and third grades will be working together to sell veggies at the stand this fall. They're looking forward to stocking, restocking veggies, talking to customers, taking payments, and making change! We want this to be run by the kids, but at times they need some support and double checking with making change etc. We also really need some help moving the boxes of veggies and other supplies as well as putting up and down the tent. Are you available to help? It's a lot of fun to watch this all in action! Thanks for helping to make it possible!
The farm stand is open to our whole community. Compass classes will come down to visit as well as other students and faculty in the building. Students are encouraged to bring come change to buy something if they like. (See prices below for some of the veggies) We invite families and other community members to visit the stand each week too! It's a great way to get healthy, local veggies each week.
