"The children had a blast at Lowes Foods
in Wilkes yesterday! They loved the
healthy snacks, and asked our nutritionist
if she would start preparing some for
our classroom. They were very excited
by all that they learned. Our group leader
was wonderful. Thanks so much for this
experience."
-Sharon Clem, Preschool Teacher

"This was a fabulous field trip! It was
very interactive and our tour guide was
wonderful. She was so friendly and let
