We loved being a part of West Elementary’s STEM Night, showcasing the beautiful garden that students helped create! Families enjoyed a fruit salsa tasting and were given a kid-friendly recipe cookbook before heading out to explore the school garden.
For many parents, it was their first time seeing the garden, and their children proudly led the tours, even picking and tasting their harvest, like the kid-favorite cucamelon!
At West Elementary, we teach 18 monthly garden and nutrition education classes in their STEM classroom, covering everything from planting a seed and tending the garden to enjoying the harvest of fresh fruits and vegetables. A huge thank you to @regankoontz for your passion and commitment to giving students this hands-on learning opportunity. Thank you!
