EverGreen students in grades kindergarten to second grade participated in Agricultural Literacy week activities. On Wednesday, March 20th, volunteer readers went to each classroom to read the book “Anywhere Farm” and completed activities with the students. Students were taught to explore the options they have to grow their own foods, i.e.: bucket, pail, front porch, windowsill, etc. demonstrating how easily anyone can their own food, not just farmers. This was made possible by the Wayne County 4-H program, Honesdale FFA, and Wayne/Pike Farm Bureau.
The Western Wayne High School Counseling Department took students on two trips to local colleges. PSU-Scranton presented their Nursing Department on March 20th and Lackawanna College had their STEM & Career Exploration Day on March 21st.
