How does food end up on your cafeteria tray?

At Bethany, you help make it happen! Plant the seeds, pick the vegetables, test the recipes, and enjoy the fruits of your hard work in the school cafeteria. Students collaborate across grades to grow food that nourishes the entire school community.

Put your hands in the dirt, place bouquets on your teacher’s desk, and taste the results of your labor!

Every sense we engage in learning—seeing, touching, smelling, and tasting—helps us remember more deeply. Imagine how much students learn when lessons come alive in the garden.
