INSPIRATION
The continued partnership continues
to yield valuable learning experiences.
Students readily dig in and get their
hands dirty, and eagerly enjoy the
products of their work.
“I loved the kale chips,” said Biak, a
third-grade gardener. “I had never tried
kale, or sweet potatoes, until we grew
them in the garden here at school.”
Zach, a classmate, chimed in, “I love
the carrots. We all took some home
and my mom made them for dinner,”
he said. “My brother and I had never
tried carrots and we really liked them.”
Brookstone Schools’ ethos is “sowing
seeds of wisdom.” For close to 10 years,
Kathleen Smith and her team of dedi-
cated volunteers have done just that. n
