Friday, FoodCorps spoke to freshmen and sophomores at Warren New Tech High School about our program and the various ways to become involved. These students need 20 hours of service by the end of their sophomore year, and over 30 students signed up to volunteer with our county's school gardens and nutrition programming at elementary schools. Some volunteers are interested in gardening and cooking, while others are artists, photographers, and videographers who can add to the marketing and beautification of the gardens. FoodCorps is excited to work with these enthusiastic young adults!
This coming spring, these students will have a chance to volunteer in their own garden, as their science teacher Ms. Hoback is artfully planning a full vegetable growing program for her classes! She has ordered a greenhouse that will be constructed next Saturday with student volunteers, and has all the materials to start various veggie plants. The students involved plan to sell the plants as a fundraiser and plant some in a garden bed on campus which will be built later this spring. Kudos to Ms. Hoback for her creativity in science education!
