The first DeKalb County local produce of the month took place on Friday, August 26th. All DeKalb County students were served watermelon fresh from a local Georgia Farm. At Fernbank, we declared a Watermelon Day where the PE coaches encouraged the students to wear red for watermelon. Better yet, wear red on top and green on the bottom to look like a slice of watermelon!
Students who bought lunch, chose the watermelon side. Some lunchbox kids brought their own watermelon from home and others bought a side of watermelon for 75cents in the lunch line. Everyone received a “Fernbank Farm to School” tractor stamp on their hand for participating in Watermelon Day. The stamp was red, of course! Don’t forget to stop by the library and take a look at the slide show of Watermelon Day. Thanks to all who helped make it a success!
