Daquan talks about a special visit

0 Comments 04 November 2010

Daquan told me what he learned about gardening – harvesting, to be exact.  The Harriet Tubman elementary school student shared with me how he went to the White House, a field trip  with his class.  They were invited by the First Lady Michelle Obama to harvest from the “First Garden”.

He said he had a great salad – and he remembers getting to cut up chicken to add to what they pulled from the soil.

He also said that Mrs. Obama “Was really nice.”
