Garden Farm Stands
STARs(Students Transitioning to Adult Responsibilities) were in charge of two farm stands at our Lodi Campus during our Summer Extended School Year, and they were both an awesome success. Students picked basil, parsley, kale, mixed lettuce, beets, cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants, and zucchini, and then sold the produce to faculty and staff of the SBJC. All proceeds made from the farm stands go right back into the Garden Program. These two vegetable sales brought in seventy dollars that will be used to purchase seeds and materials for our upcoming seasons. A big thank you to all staff who helped and supported the program! We will keep you posted regarding our next harvest.

WorkShop Opens September
Our STARSs (Students Transitioning to Adult Responsibilities) and STEAM Program are joining together for our latest venture: the WorkShop.

The program is the first of its kind and is intended to: (a) enhance SBJC students abilities to participate in work that mimics twenty-first century jobs; and (b) enhance the SBJC STEAM program’s ability to make itself accessible to the technological needs of schools that are members of the South Bergen Jointure Commission.
