Families: Today was our first Farmer's Market at Barack Obama School! Students sold fresh vegetables that they have worked hard to grow and harvest. We invite you to join us on Wednesday mornings (anytime between 9:00-10:15 AM) in the front driveway on the east side of the school to see what our students have done...and purchase a few vegetables. Most vegetables are between 25-50 cents per "bunch," and all proceeds will go towards our Horticulture/Greenhouse/Garden classes. Click on the flyer for details: https://5il.co/2x1c5
