From the Wilkes-Barre Times-Leader 

As part of their new Growing Green science-based, schoolyard garden program at Dr. David Kistler Elementary School, fourth-grade students in Sandra Marinko's class hosted a presentation by Julie McMonigle and Janet Sweeney from the Pennsylvania Environmental Council who spoke about sustainability, pollution, gardening and other environmentally-related topics.

The presentation was sponsored by The Nutrition Group Inc., food service provider for the Wilkes-Barre Area School District.

After the program the students were treated to healthy nutritious fruit and vegetable snacks that were grown in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Michael Corcoran, elementary science coordinator, was the program moderator.
