 Some
of the produce grown in our gardens is served in the cafeteria. Carolyn
Morgan (far left), the head cook at the primary and elementary schools
and her staff goes out of their way to prepare and serve the fresh produce.
Carol Marples, the district's director
of food service is a great advocate for serving tasty and nutritious lunches.
In October 2005, we hosted a vegetarian harvest
lunch where most of the produce served in both the primary and elementary
school cafeterias (about 1,400 students) was harvested from the gardens
by the students. Volunteers prepared dozens of
bouquets so we had one or two on every table. All of the tables were covered
with table cloths and in both cafeterias classical music was playing over the
sound system. We had many parents and other special guests including, our
superintendent, Dr. Boys who came to have lunch with his daughter. Mr. Brookes,
the elementary school principal talks about what a special day it was.
