N.Y. School Garden Becomes Cafeteria Salad Bar
Thursday, February 28th, 2013At the beginning of the school year, FFA representatives stopped by Hamilton Central School in Hamilton, N.Y., bearing gifts: vegetable seeds to grow starter plants in the school’s greenhouse. Today those plants are thriving so much they’re providing tomatoes, Swiss chard and peppers for the school’s salad bar during lunch.
“I chose to do this as part of our class and I’m glad I did,” Hamilton senior Victoria Hayduke-Toomath told the Observer-Dispatch. “It’s such a relaxing atmosphere and we’re surrounded by all these lush green plants,” she said.

Teen Battle Chefs Heat Up the Bronx in NYC
Tuesday, January 22nd, 2013Teens from Dewitt Clinton High School in the Bronx, N.Y., competed in a culinary showdown recently, whipping up chicken lo mein, coconut shrimp curry and more from scratch as part of the Teen Battle Chef program. The competition was the culmination of a nine-week health and wellness effort sponsored by Montefiore Hospital’s school wellness program, and reps were on hand to sample the teen chefs’ efforts.
“I like making dinners from scratch. It’s real,” senior Karisma Singley, whose team cooked up coconut shrimp curry, told SchoolBook. “It gives me a satisfaction to know that I made that.”
