Little baby sprouts for our indoor aeroponic gardens are popping up nicely! A new addition this year are our dwarf sunflowers. Be sure to follow their journey from seed to tower. 🌻
Pope’s Peeps and the Buddies did a garden tour with Farmer Joanna. Students learned about plants, good and bad insects, and the compost area. She also let the students pick some carrots to eat! Students look forward to watching everything grow over the next few weeks.
“As we look to rebuild, #schoolmeals are such an impt part of making sure kids have the fuel they need to focus, learn & concentrate,” said FRAC's Crystal FitzSimons. “... The best thing to do is to make sure that every kid has access to that meal.” https://t.co/jpLMxgng2Q

Right now, 90% of schools across our country are relying on child nutrition waivers to feed their students. We must extend these waivers so our children have the nutrition they need to learn.
