To reduce waste and better utilize fresh produce. Students can reclaim extra food during lunch, FACS department can claim any extras, student/facility can claim extra food after school in counseling office, and the remaining foods get donated to the local food shelf. Back this 2021-2022, NPHS Green Team will relaunch the SHARING CART Initiative in the school cafeteria. Students can place their unwanted fruit or milk just outside the kitchen area. The food then is either used by other students, counseling office has extra food for students, and/or what is remaining will be donated to the local food shelf! Look for the cart to donate!
Summer 2019
This past summer, the Green Team and Life skill students planted 4 garden beds and one raised bed and grew a variety of veggies. We have picked strawberries; table onions, radishes, lettuce, watermelon, snap peas, beans, herbs and zucchini! Many staff members appreciated the veggies and the FACS department will use the herbs and Zucchini in their noodle unit and High School Cafeteria has used a variety of vegetables at the salad bar! Look at this awesome crew ready to bring Fresh Local food to NPHS!
Here are pictures from the 2019 Summer Gardens at NPHS! This spring the NPHS will have 1 handicap garden and 3 new garden beds for the summer of 2020! More vegetables here we come!
