Exciting News for Newport Intermediate School!
We are thrilled to announce that NIS has been awarded a School Garden Mini-Grant through the Kentucky Farm to School Network!
This grant, provided by Community Farm Alliance with support from the USDA Farm to School Program and the Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky, will help us grow fresh, healthy food while providing hands-on learning experiences for our students!
What This Means for Our School:
$5,000 in funding for garden supplies & cooking/nutrition education
Support from the KY Farm to School Network to establish and maintain our school garden
Engaging summer garden & nutrition programs for our students
We can’t wait to see our students get their hands in the soil, learn about where their food comes from, and enjoy the delicious benefits of fresh, homegrown produce!
Stay tuned for updates, and if you’re interested in volunteering, we’d love your support!
