@CHCSPTA check out these awesome third graders & their delicious cooking!

[FoodPrints at Watkins @FoodPrintsCHCS]

3rd graders prepared a salad bar, bread & butter with radishes, pesto pasta, & strawberry-mint lemonade. With most of the produce coming from our garden, students learned all about local & seasonal food in an engaging & hands on way! @FoodPrintsCHCS @FoodPrintsDC @WatkinsDCPS

1st Graders worked collaboratively to create a visual model of what they learned in FoodPrints today: it's important to eat fruits & veggies of all colors of the rainbow to keep our bodies strong & healthy! They ended class with a rainbow salad! @CHCSPTA @FoodPrintsDC

Yum! 2nd graders impressed everyone in the room by preparing: a Green Salad with Herb Vinaigrette, a Swiss Chard & Goat Cheese Frittata, Pumpkin Scones, and a Yogurt & Granola Parfait! Proud @WatkinsDCPS Teacher! @CHCSPTA @FoodPrintsDC

Thank you 1st graders for helping us celebrate Earth Day @WatkinsDCPS by watering the garden and doing a garden appreciation scavenger hunt! As one first grader said, "Every day is Earth Day to me!" @FoodPrintsDC @CHCSPTA

Yesterday’s 5th-grade FoodPrints class at @WatkinsDCPS was a gorgeous day for painting in the garden and cooking in the kitchen. Grateful for this incredible program in our Cluster at Watkins and Peabody. Thanks, @FoodPrintsCHCS ! #ClusterPride

It was so cool to watch 4th graders think critically about the factors that impact their food choices, and then make a FoodPrints meal while chatting about what is always/sometimes/rarely on their minds when they shop, cook & eat! @FoodPrintsDC @CHCSPTA @WatkinsDCPS

[FoodPrints at Watkins @FoodPrintsCHCS]

Wow! What an amazing event. Thanks to @SodexoMagicDCPS @DCPSEats @JaberChefDC @jamibailey123 for creating such a wonderful opportunity for DCPS students! Hosting here at @WatkinsDCPS was such a blast!

Watkins 1st Graders took some time to thank @TwinSpringsFruitFarm for our delicious & beautiful rainbow carrots. Students painted amazing pictures of the carrots & then prepared & enjoyed Lemon Roasted *Rainbow* Carrots for a FoodPrints snack @CHCSPTA @FRESHFARMDC @FoodPrintsDC

Not only did 2nd graders help prep the Watkins Garden for spring planting, but they also made connections between their Activism Unit & Food Justice by contributing to a garden that helps feed their school community fruits & veggies @CHCSPTA @FoodPrintsDC
