The whole school is involved in our farmstand - from inventorying, to delivering leftovers to the soup kitchen, to choosing recipes and cooking in class! The second grade will be working together to sell veggies with the first graders as their apprentices at the stand this spring. 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 farmstand is open to our whole community. Compass classes will come down to visit as well as other students and faculty in the building. Each class has a Shared Fund so that every student can purchase items each week. Your child's teachers will be reaching out to you about how the Shared Fund works in their class. 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.
