Thank you to all of the CCS teachers who attended our Farm to School new garden leader trainings this week! A special shout out to Chris Weatherholtz/CCS, Merele Wilder/CCS, Tisha Maddox/CCS, Victoria Johnson/CCS, Tim McDermott/OSU Extension, Carol Smathers/OSU Extension, Sean McKay/MOFC, Jessie and Aliyah/FPC for helping to make the night a success. We appreciate your support for CCS Farm to School.
