Rancho Santa Gertrudes Students Visit Local Farmers Market on February 26, 2015

Rancho Santa Gertrudes School students attended the City of Santa Fe Springs Farmers Market on February 26, 2015. Rancho teachers along with parent volunteers took the students to the Farmers Market that is held every Thursday from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Santa Fe Springs Town Center Plaza. Students, as part of the Healthy Los Nietos initiative, have been learning about the importance of eating fresh fruit and vegetables as part of effective meal planning.

Superintendent Vasquez and Rancho Principal, Octavio Perez, shopped with the children while speaking with City of Santa Fe Springs Health and Wellness Coordinators.

The City of Santa Fe Springs is offering the service free of charge to all members of the community and is looking to add more vendors in the future.
