Lindley Elementary third graders serve pesto pasta to the entire school!

Pesto is popular way to prepare and consume the bountiful basil crop many schools harvest when they grow this warm season staple. There are many varieties of this fragrant herb, the Herb Society’s plant sale at the Greek Orthodox offers quite a few of them. 



The pesto, a combination of fresh basil leaves, parmesan cheese, and olive oil was combined with elbow noodles. This stuff was so delicious that just about everybody that had some after lunch in the cafeteria gobbled it up!  
Way to go 3rd grade!



These third graders were also able to take all the extra pasta to a local shelter 

that provides food for homeless and people in need!!! Way to go Lindley kids!
