Thank you to the Food Bank of Lincoln for making fresh, healthy produce accessible to our community, so even our littlest learners get to enjoy the goodness!

We are so grateful to the Food Bank of Lincoln for bringing fresh produce to our community each month! ❤️

Our students and staff have the opportunity to take home a free bag of fresh fruits and vegetables, making healthy food more accessible to the families we serve.

We loved having our toddlers participate in yesterday's produce pickup! 🥦🍊

🌈 Science is even more fun when you can see it come to life! Thank you, Nebraska Extension in Lancaster County, for visiting our School-Age program and teaching our students all about density through colorful density rainbows. Our kids loved the hands-on experiment and had a great time exploring how different liquids stack to create a beautiful rainbow. 🧪🧪
