On September 16, City Council Member Althea Stevens presented a check for $2 million to P.S. 311 Lucero Elementary School and P.S. 294 The Walton Avenue School for a brand new cooking and gardening space! Councilmember Stevens’ dedication to edible education in her district is remarkable - she believes students in her district deserve gardens to learn and grow in. Together, we’re building space for students to thrive!
INSIDE A CLASSROOM in a New York City school, children are about to bite into something new: A veggie-topped homemade pizza, kale salad, just-picked tomatoes, and a stir-fry. There’s not a turned-up nose or skeptical look in the bunch. That’s because these students grew and harvested the vegetables they’re about to eat and prepared the dishes them-selves. Before they dig in, they shout “Thank you, gardeners! Thank you, cooks!” to show their appreciation for each other’s efforts.
