Comparte tu mayor éxito en el programa "De la granja a la escuela":
The experience for the kids – learning about how food grows and where it comes from. The kids experiencing new foods has been a great success – especially if they don’t have access to it at home or otherwise.
Comparte tu mayor desafío del programa "De la granja a la escuela":
Access to curricular resources specific to the state and growing areas within Nebraska has been a challenge to find.
Comparte el mejor consejo de tu escuela para la adquisición, procesamiento y/o almacenamiento de alimentos frescos:
We would receive the produce from the NE food Coop and I would directly distribute it among our schools to use that day. We have nowhere to store food otherwise.
Other pertinent information you’d like to share: This past July, the kids were able to harvest, prepare and manage a mini-farmer’s market stand selling our produce. Along with the skills they developed in setting this up, they learned business and customer service skills bagging up the orders, counting up totals and counting back change, and creating receipts.
Please share a student and/or teacher/staff quote if available:
“Garden peas are good!” (Voice of all young children who hate peas, yet realize how much they love them from the garden – because they are better)
