292 Pounds of Sweet Potatoes Delivered to Friendship Trays!

Last week the first wave of seconds graders helped deliver 292 pounds of sweet potatoes to Friendship Trays which had been grown here at Trinity. Paired up with some sixth graders who are also helping in our garden, 16 second graders traveled to the distribution center for Friendship Trays. After observing some of the potatoes being harvested, the second grade then spent two weeks helping to "cure" the potatoes in a humid and warm room here at Trinity.

The children watched as the potatoes were weighed and helped to calculate the total weight of our donation. They had made a prediction of a total weight of 20 pounds and were very surprised and delighted to see what had actually been given to Friendship Trays. We are now waiting to see when the carrots, radishes and collared greens we planted will be ready so they can be brought to Friendship Trays as well. Thanks to all of the drivers who helped get us there and back!
