🎃 Pumpkin Patch Friday!
Thanks to the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP), a group of our students got to pick out their very own pumpkin!
Did you know that five of our elementary schools participate in FFVP? This USDA-funded initiative introduces students to a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, helping to increase their overall consumption of nutritious produce.
