Harvest Festival, Monday, October 23rd 2017!

A Beautiful Day For the Harvest Festival!

Thank you to all the families that came out to help harvest the produce in our school garden!  We had a beautiful day and lots of help to pick tomatoes, peppers, onions, mint, basil, parsley, sage, oregano, thyme and even lavender! The many of the herbs will be served in our school cafeteria and the rest were given to Chef Rob from Nightingale 9 to be used at the restaurant.  Nightingale 9 has been a huge supporter of our school garden!  Be sure to stop by the restaurant and taste our produce!
