RSU 3’s five elementary schools won big at the Windsor Fair this year, earning 31
ribbons for outstanding fruits and vegetables grown in their school gardens. Walker School in
Liberty, Morse Memorial School in Brooks, Troy Elementary School in Troy, Monroe Elementary
School in Monroe, and Mt. View Elementary School in Thorndike entered produce into the
Exhibition Hall at the Fair. Elementary students in the district grew the vegetables as part of
their weekly Agriculture Class, and ended up winners! Some of the entries included New Age
Asian Pears, Dark Red Norland Potatoes, Deep Purple Carrots, Waltham Butternut Squash,
Spoon Tomatoes, Aunt Mollie’s Ground Cherries, and many others! Along with the individual
produce entries, the district earned a first place ribbon for a large, district display featuring over
25 products including garden-grown produce, jellies, jam, maple syrup, saved seeds, and
vermicompost (soil made from our “composting” worms).
Congratulations students!
