Students in House 32 (led by Monica Margolis) and "Food/ Activism/ Environment" ( a senior elective led by Kevin Slick) traveled to Hilltop Hanover Farm in Yorktown Heights on October 16. While there, students learned about life on a small-scale organic farm. They explored the idea of sustainable agriculture, the NYC watershed, and environmental stewardship. Activities included a farm tour of fields, beehives, greenhouses, and livestock (including chickens and cows). Students from both grades worked together in the fields to harvest peppers before the evening frost.
