Merrimack Valley High School

My class truly believes in "from farm to table." My life skills, food choices class has been learning about where and how we get our food. Most students want to eat healthy but are restricted at school due to our school lunch program. Our class goal is to build a garden at our school and be able to learn and create food for our class and for the entire school. Eventually it would be great to supply the school kitchen with our vegetables daily.
Along with our garden we would like to start a composting program at our school. The compost could be used for our garden and help to reduce waste at our school. Eventually, it would be our goal to have the whole school district composting in the cafeterias so that it becomes a way of life for our students.
