Dows Lane Students Celebrate Lettuce Harvest Day

Dows Lane Elementary School students enjoyed the rewards of their gardening efforts during a special lettuce harvest day on June 16. After planting the seeds earlier in the year and watching them grow, the students picked the lettuce from their school garden and enjoyed a healthy snack together.  

“With the incredible energy of PTSA garden volunteer Meg Tubman, as well as volunteer parents and school counselor and Garden Club adviser Alissa Campbell, all students had fun picking the lettuce, washing and eating it,” Principal Dr. Andrea Kantor said. “It’s a terrific day for all and very rewarding for students to see their hard work in the garden prosper into food we eat.”
