Taste and see that the Lord is good

As a Catholic school, John Paul II Collegiate students and staff value Christian stewardship of the Earth.

 John Paul II Collegiate, under the guidance of teachers Rhea Good and Jeff Kardynal, started a garden project this past growing season to practice stewardship in the form of a vegetable garden.

Kardynal's PAA classes and student volunteers built four raised beds for a small garden in the student parking lot area. Good's Functional Integrated program planted and tended the garden all spring and summer. The garden beautified the school grounds and served as a daily reminder to give thanks for an abundant food supply.

Vegetables harvested from the school garden were made into a delicious soup and on Sept. 21 all students and staff were invited to Pope's Corner during the lunch hour to enjoy this Garden Harvest Soup.

“O taste and see that the Lord is good.” (Psalm 34:8)
