Planting Potatoes

Today first grade students planted potatoes for the food shelf! The Colchester Food Shelf is Union Memorial School's neighbor and throughout the year classes have each taken a week to collect non-perishible items to donate to the food shelf. Behind the Food Shelf building there is a potato patch and, today, first grade students helped the food shelf again by planting potatoes in the patch. In the fall of second grade student will return to the potato patch and help dig up and collect the potatoes grown over the summer to be available for donation at the food shelf! Below are some photos of students in our class helping our neighbor, the food shelf, today!
