Farm to Table Initiative in the Middle School




The Middle School Green Ambassadors along with the help of Cory Eklund and Maura Sourman, Middle School science teachers have begun a garden to table initiative in the Academic Courtyard. "They do it for the joy of organic gardening and providing healthy food for others", reports Sourman.  The seedlings were provided by Len Dwinell, husband of Middle School language teacher, Barbara Dwinell.  "We received a lot of help to make this work," she continues siting that the grounds and maintenance crews made sure we had compost in the raised beds. The greens (boc choy, lettuce, kale, mustard)were donated to the dining hall.  They are now planting tomatoes, peppers, onions and herbs for salsa.
