The Green Apple Day of Service gives parents, teachers, students, companies and local organizations the opportunity to transform all schools into healthy, safe and productive learning environments through local service projects.
Third grade Student Voice members from Three Bridges and Whitehouse Schools spent the morning of Saturday, Sept. 26, at the Readington Community Garden as part of the Green Apple Day of Service. Working under the direction of community members Dan Allen and Chip Shepherd, the students helped with gardening and clean-up, including planting lettuce and harvesting potatoes.
