Farm-to-Table Sweet Potato Pies

West Fannin fourth grade parents had a special treat during their Thanksgiving Meal on Tuesday, November 8^th. Last spring, our Power Planters (aka Garden Club) planted sweet potatoes in our raised beds. Our fourth grade students harvested the sweet potatoes, cleaned the sweet potatoes, peeled the sweet potatoes, and made sweet potatoes pies! West Fannin is truly taking part in the “Farm-to-Table” movement. Thank you to our West Fannin cafeteria for supporting this movement.
