Foodprints is also active at Peabody/Watkins, Ludlow Taylor, Tyler, and Francis-Stevens. It's a great program which incorporates both the growing and food prep into the curriculum through science, math, art, etc.

I live in AU Park and have never heard of these schools, except for Stevens. Is that where Amy Carter went briefly?

Do the chickens have "feeder rights"?

+1. OP's post sounded like a parody

So telling how the OP troll got Walker Jones and other parents going...

Oh please. Someone spouted off nonsense and was called on it. The only thing telling is that someone's ignorance of how common a garden was demonstrated. it's like bragging about being in a school and claiming it is a jewel because the kids were learning math.

It is telling how jealous you still sound even now, with the OP having been unmasked as a troll....

Jealous of what? I've lived in DC for 25 years, I don't think I could find Janney on a map. I just know it's up somewhere by American University? Just....far away from where I live. I know lots of blonde people with BMWs live up there (based on DCUM posting).

You are full of preconceived notions and prejudices.

Which part isn't true?

Come check it out and eat crow.

Never mind that Walker Jones has been doing this for literally....years. But, yeah, Janney "sets the bar"

i don't even know what to say.

Can we finally send WOTP back to Maryland?

If we got to join MoCo, sure. We have no interest in being part of PG. That would be like time-traveling back to DC's Barry era.

Hey, maybe something good is coming out of this stupid thread. A referendum for WOTP to join MoCo!

Or at least to become its own borough, and manage its own school system and other services. Now, that would be great!

OK . . . they're all schools which figure out a constructive way to integrate gardening with learning rather than a commercial good. Seriously Janney -- you can't figure out a better use for produce, eggs and honey than selling it? Is Janney hard up for funds? Is the $650/child too tough an ask?

I think it is. Lots of freeloaders at Janney, looking at the percentage per grade of parents who do actually contribute to the PTA funds. Not everybody contributes, and those who contribute are probably not giving $650/child.
