Then, come lunchtime, they’re served a nutritious and delicious meal that not only satisfies their hunger but also supports their overall health and well-being. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f372.png" alt="🍲" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f374.png" alt="🍴" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f34e.png" alt="🍎" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p></div><div class="thrv_responsive_video thrv_wrapper tcb-lazy-load tcb-lazy-load-youtube" data-type="youtube" data-rel="0" data-modestbranding="1" data-aspect-ratio="16:9" data-aspect-ratio-default="0" data-float-visibility="mobile" data-url="https://youtu.be/IO0dLbFEzTY" data-float-position="top-left" data-float-width-d="300px" data-float-padding1-d="25px" data-float-padding2-d="25px">

Our students play an active role in maintaining the garden, learning about the process of growing food from seed to harvest. They take great pride in heading out to the garden to pick the fresh produce that will later be used in cooking their meals. This gives them a hands-on understanding of where their food comes from and the importance of fresh, nutritious ingredients. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f966.png" alt="🥦" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f33d.png" alt="🌽" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f345.png" alt="🍅" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p></div><div class="thrv_wrapper tve_image_caption" data-css="tve-u-195c619165a"><span class="tve_image_frame"><img decoding="async" class="tve_image wp-image-1518" alt="Feeding Minds and Bodies" data-id="1518" width="562" data-init-width="2000" height="422" data-init-height="1500" title="Feeding Minds and Bodies" loading="lazy" src="https://brightdawnfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/20250305_083640_50.jpg" data-width="562" data-height="422" style="aspect-ratio: auto 2000 / 1500;" srcset="https://brightdawnfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/20250305_083640_50.jpg 2000w, https://brightdawnfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/20250305_083640_50-300x225.jpg 300w, https://brightdawnfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/20250305_083640_50-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://brightdawnfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/20250305_083640_50-768x576.jpg 768w, https://brightdawnfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/20250305_083640_50-1536x1152.jpg 1536w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 562px) 100vw, 562px" /></span></div><div class="thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element"><p data-id="430304c6-5094-45c6-9e4e-f02fa9cf1e16">We’ve found that involving students in this process not only provides them with valuable knowledge and skills, but it also encourages them to make healthier food choices.
