Grace Julian co-founded The Edible Classroom as a nonprofit organization in 2018 in an effort to teach more students about growing their own food and to partner with schools to create and sustain learning gardens and customized programs. Camp mornings kicked off with “Garden Yoga” as campers practiced stretching into poses, followed by plenty of time in the garden exploring and tending the plants. Each day featured a garden-related topic with a read-aloud story and activities, games, and crafts. “ We were talking about pests and beneficials,” said Jameer, one of the See The Edible Classroom pg 9

“Community” is sometimes defined as “common unity.” Three area churches, although they differ in denomination, have found community through their shared love of worshipping God. On May 3, Millersville Brethren in Christ (BIC) Church, East Petersburg Mennonite Church, and Sanctuary, a Vineyard Church, held their first collaborative worship night at Sanctuary. More than 100 people participated. The next collaborative night of worship will be held at East Petersburg Mennonite Church, 6279 Main St., East Petersburg, at 7 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 30. The worship team will be composed of musicians from each of the three churches. See Collaborative Worship pg 2
