The Forest View Fuel Up to Play 60 Leadership Team invited a local dairy farmer to the school to share information with the students about her farm and how milk gets to the school. The students created questions for the farmer to answer, introduced her to the school, and helped with the presentation.

How did students and adults work together as a team?

At our monthly meeting, the student team worked together to choose the route they wanted to take and the play they wanted was Farm to School. As the program advisor, I was able to help them and worked towards reaching out to a farmer and scheduling a date. Then we worked hand-in-hand to determine the best way to promote the program.
