EAGLE RIVER - We may have seen snow recently, but students in Eagle River are thinking about spring.
Kindergarten through fourth graders learned about planting seedlings on Tuesday as part of an event put on by the district's Farm to School program. They even got to get their hands in the dirt.
"The plants will go in the school gardens at St. Germain, Land O' Lakes, Eagle River Elementary, as well as this high school garden here. And then also, the teachers have the opportunity to buy them and the parents have the opportunity to buy them in the spring. And then the remainder is always donated to the Vilas County Food Pantry," said Northland Pines Farm to School Nutrition Educator Jasmyn Schmidt.
