October is Farm 2 School month and today is National Farmers day! We are so lucky to have Farmer Chrissy and Farmer Joanna as our Farmer Educators!!

Today Mr. Staggs class utilized the ESE garden to learn about plant adaptations. We are so lucky to have Farmer Johanna here at ESE to learn from!

A great day of learning at #ANC22 @MCScommunicates @SchoolMealsRock

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.

Farmer Joanna has an update on the spinach that keeps on giving!!! @MCScommunicates @Farm2_School

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.
