Pacific Beach Middle School students grow their own lunch

Students at Pacific Beach Middle School have grown enough lettuce in their school garden to feature it on the cafeteria's salad bar. Many schools in the San Diego Unified School District have school gardens growing vegetables; extra goodies on the salad bar, organically grown, are a big hit with the kids.

"The PBMS garden club will be supplying the cafeteria salad bar with fresh produce on Fridays whenever there is something to harvest," said Library Technician Sally Kaufman. "It looks like we’ll have enough to harvest for several weeks and maybe more."

"The buzz on campus today from the students, staff and cafeteria employees was very exciting," said Kaufman.

Rand Stoller, the Video Club advisor and Network Systems Media Support Technician, helped the students produce the video. Stoller runs a video production club after school. Watch a video on their efforts»
