From farm to table to school

Hathaway Elementary School students planted seeds that will develop into green beans while also growing their knowledge about nutrition and the food cycle during the first Student Well-Being Fair.

The students rotated through four stations, where they explored topics of nutrition, recycling and sustainability, plants and their nutrients, food and local garden communities. The purpose of the April 20 event was to promote good nutrition and get students thinking about the path that food takes from the field to the table, said Mark Jasper, nutrition services director for the Washougal School District.
