School to Farm

Posted 9/1/2011 11:51am by Heather Scott.

Friday, May 13 proved to be lucky for four Medway 4th-grade classes.   Nearly 100 students and their teachers visited the Medway Community Farm on a rare warm and sunny day, as part of the “school to farm” collaboration that was first begun last year. 

These 4th graders, from the Memorial School, got to work on their two garden plots, where they built raised beds for easier gardening.  Local preschoolers had sowed and nurtured the seedlings that were then planted by the 4th graders.  Future visits from the Memorial School students will include weeding, math activities, a story hour, and their very own farm stand. 

MCF thanks Mrs. Nash, Mrs. Hickman, Mrs. Rice, Mrs. Butler, and their students, as well as Principal Leigh Ann Becker, for their support.  We look forward to future collaborations!

Check out the 4th Grader's final visit with the farm:
