Harvest Time @ BMS




Many of you see the gardens in the front of our school as you drive past, and you may have wondered what happens to all the produce that is grown between the many gigantic sunflowers. 

Amy Donahoe, Third Grade Teacher, and her many volunteers keep the garden weeded and watered all summer, and the plants and vegetables harvested go to the Berlin Food Pantry. Once students return, we try to use what is grown to enhance our own lunch program.  Here we have cafeteria manager Michelle Baird and Julie Wheeler bringing in some fresh tomatoes and herbs to use in salads.
