Congratulations to our school Science Lab Coordinator, Elena Banks, who shepherded our Gecko Garden through the certification process for the "Garden-to-Café" program.
Ms. Banks applied through the San Diego Unified School District to have the vegetables grown right here on our campus used in the food served to our children for lunch. Ms. Banks submitted for approval our desire to have the healthy vegetables grown in the Gecko Garden included in our school salad bar. She then attended a training course, and hosted a garden site visit with the SDUSD Farm to School Specialist to verify that our methods aligned with the district's food standards. After months of hard work, we are proud to announce we are "officially" certified. Farm-to-table is a reality here at Grant.
Eat your greens! At Grant we know exactly where they're coming from!
