Farm-to-School Grant
The West Jefferson Hills School District is the proud recipient of a $ 9,000 grant provided by the USDA Farm to School Grant Program . The USDA Farm to School Grant Program is housed within the Food and Nutrition Services ’ ( FNS ) Office of Community Food Systems ( OCFS ) and designed to enrich the connection between local food producers and agricultural practices at schools . As a result of this grant , Gill Hall and McClellan Elementary School students will engage in experiential learning beginning next school year with local beekeepers , learn to grow vegetables using indoor soil-based and soilless gardens at each school , and take a field trip to Triple B Farms in Monongahela to learn about farming on a much larger scale . K-2 Technology Teacher Jason Legg will facilitate the growing stations at each school and looks forward to the excitement as students begin to grow and taste their own food ! Be sure to follow the District on Facebook and Twitter to see all of these wonderful learning initiatives , important news and updates , and our student and staff accolades and success stories taking place on a daily basis !
