Compass Farmstand Run by Kids!
Yay fruits & veggies!
Wednesday, June 21st, 11:00am - 1:30pm
This is our last farmstand of the season! Thanks so much to everyone for the support. Watching the kids set-up and run the stand each week is incredible. They LOVE it and learn so very much. The learning is endless! Even the jobs outside of the stand - making beautiful illustrated price tags, counting the money after the stand, choosing new veggies for the following week, and delivering the excess to the soup kitchen - all our students so much and give them a real sense of responsibility. There are so many more opportunities too! Please reach out if you'd like to help with any farmstand related projects. We're already planning for new developments in the fall. Can't wait. :-)
We could use a few more grownups this week!

We really want the new wheels on the cart! Please help if you can!
If you have some time and some tools and would like to help us put the new wheels on our cart that would be GREAT! We can give you some student assistants too! :-)
