FARM TO SCHOOL: Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean Mrs. Michelle Barber’s horticulture students are taking it easy.
Using our district’s new high tunnel greenhouse, Barber’s students planted and are now harvesting lettuce that will help feed their fellow students by stocking salad bars in our cafeterias.
Let’s keep those fresh veggies flowing!
