On Friday, the 16th of May, SAS students and staff made their second trip of the school year to 21 Acres, a non-profit organization focused on sustainable agriculture. It aims to “create and operate a vital, open public space for all of us to rediscover the agricultural heritage of our region and learn about cutting-edge, sustainable agricultural design and technologies as well as ways to maximize the beneficial aspects of fresh local produce and farm products.” Everyone helped by participating in tasks such as invasive plant removal, path maintenance, and farming, among other things. Students received community service credit for their efforts. The day was concluded with a barbeque lunch. |
