Beyond the kitchen...

Imagine heading to elementary school and kick-starting your brain into action with cinnamon apples, watermelon, tasty bagels and cheese, yoghurt, hardboiled eggs, friends, books, family and music. 

Healthy eating is lifestyle literacy, and the young students of Walnut Park Elementary School embraced the monthly Breakfast & Books program with passion and appreciation. 

 

 

Initiated by Lynn, the librarian at Walnut Park, and Jody from Smithers Community Services, and with support of many volunteers, this was the first year of Breakfast & Books.

 

It will be back next year by the students’ popular demand!

 

 

 

 

Spring Spinach Harvest

The Grendel Group in Smithers http://www.grendelgroup.ca/ planted the seeds of spinach on March 18th in the green house and by May 6th it was ready for harvest!  The Ground 2 Griddle kitchen crew packed lunches and headed down the street to help with the harvest, washing and bagging of the spinach for the Harvest Boxes, Nature's Pantry and the Farmer's Market.  Many hands make light work and after the harvest everyone enjoyed a picnic on the garden grass in the warm sun.
