Farm to School Month Celebrated at Holden

Students at recently celebrated National Farm to School Month as part of the school's annual Harvest Festival.

Ami Gignac, from Breakneck Acres organic farm, visited the school as part of the event on Friday, Oct. 28.

Last year, the United States House of Representatives declared October National Farm to School Month, recognizing the strong role Farm to School plays in promoting good health and strong economies.

The festival at Holden included a presentation from local, organic farm Breakneck Acres, garden poetry readings by third graders who have worked with the Wick Poetry Center, and songs shared by fourth and fifth graders.
