Tea Blending

Students in Ms. Fast's class created two beautifully fragrant tea blends — Sleepy Tea and Cold & Cough. Students individually and thoughtfully created their own blend from a selection of Indigenous plants. Our special guests, Dancing Water and Freda Alphonse, generously shared their knowledge about the unique qualities and health benefits of each plant. Students learned how the plants are traditionally and respectfully harvested, and how they have been used to support wellness for generations. It was a wonderful opportunity for hands-on learning, cultural connection, and appreciation for the gifts of the land.
