Join Us in Growing Fresh Veggies for Groton Area School’s Farm to School Program!
Dear Groton Area School District families,
We are excited to invite you to be part of an important and fun initiative to support the Groton Area School’s Farm to School Program! This program helps provide our students with fresh, locally grown food, and we need your help to make it a success.
How can you help? We’re asking our community to come together to plant a row of vegetables that will be harvested and used in school meals. Whether you're an experienced gardener or a first-time planter, there’s a spot for you!
By participating, you’ll help ensure that our students have access to fresh, healthy food while learning about where their food comes from. It’s a great way to build connections within our community and support local agriculture.
To sign up or for more information, please contact Brandon (BJ) Clocksene.
We can’t wait to work together to make this program a success!
Thank you for your support in making Groton Area School’s Farm to School program thrive.
Warm regards,
Brandon (BJ) Clocksene
