Feast of Gratitude: A Heartwarming Hot Lunch Event
The Cortes Island PAC recently hosted a delightful event called the Feast of Gratitude, where students enjoyed a delicious hot chicken dinner with garden-fresh potatoes and carrots, followed by a scrumptious pumpkin pie dessert. This special meal was not just about great food; it was an opportunity for students to learn about good manners and the importance gratitude.
The garden-to-table aspect of the Feast of Gratitude lunch was truly special. The potatoes and carrots served were harvested directly from the school’s garden, which the students help maintain throughout the year. This hands-on involvement in growing their own food not only teaches them valuable gardening skills but also fosters a deeper connection to the food they eat.
By participating in the entire process—from planting and tending the garden to harvesting and finally enjoying the meal—the students gain a comprehensive understanding of where their food comes from. This experience emphasizes the importance of sustainable practices and healthy eating habits. Plus, it adds a personal touch to the meal, making it even more meaningful and delicious!
A big thank you to all the volunteers who made this event possible and memorable. Your efforts truly brought our community together in a spirit of gratitude and togetherness. These are the wonderful moments that make our school community so special. 🍽️🎃
