It was brutally hot in the garden today! The gardeners quickly harvested their produce, and Miss Cass set the sprinkler to water the garden, while the young gardeners went on a field trip to St. Charles Food Pantry.
Miss Mary, who runs the food pantry, discussed the need to help some families get enough food to eat. During the summer donations to the pantry are down, but demand is high. The Garden N Grow gardeners donated over 5 pounds of produce from their own gardens, and lots of non-perishable food they brought from home. Then they put together a food order from the pantry's shelves for a family of six.
Back in the classroom at Fairview Christian Church the students discussed the need for food pantries. They recalled the very first lesson when Miss Cass taught about hunger.
We finished the hot day with fruit popsicles and Angel Food Cake Cupcakes.
