Check out these locally grown Satsuma oranges being served in Evans County Schools. 🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊
These Satsuma oranges were grown by Usher Southern Citrus in Lyons. The Evans County Schools School Nutrition program participates in the Local Food to Schools Program. This program provides funds for participating school nutrition programs to purchase food directly from Georgia farmers.
Usher Farms has been located in Lyons, GA since 1923. Through the generations, the farm has transitioned into a greenhouse grown vegetable transplant operations and citrus farm.
Randy Usher and his wife, Kaye, started a small greenhouse operation in 1989. Since then, they have expanded to operating 23 greenhouses, two high tunnels, and a 13-acre citrus farm with their son, Travis Usher.
Travis, along with his father, Randy, planted 2 acres of Satsuma oranges in 2019. The citrus farm has now expanded to 13 acres and includes production of Cara Cara (navel oranges), Shiranui, Meyer Lemons, Pink Frost Grapefruit, and Tangerines.
Travis and his wife, Pamela, are the leaders in the citrus operations. Travis is a 4th generation farmer on land owned and operated by the Usher family. His wife assists in the everyday operations as well as maintaining off farm work as a respiratory therapist. They currently live on the farm with their three children. The goal of Usher Southern Citrus is to deliver the freshest, tree-to-table locally grown citrus.

❄️ STEM Snowball Fight in Mr. Sapp’s Class! ❄️
While everyone is watching the forecast for snow, Mr. Sapp’s class brought the snowstorm indoors with a STEM-themed Snowball Fight! ☃️
As part of their review on States of Matter, students faced off in this fun and educational activity. "Frozen" students could only rejoin the action by answering review questions from a Gimkit led by student facilitators. It was a flurry of fun and learning! 🎯📚
Who needs snow days when your classroom brings the storm? Fantastic work, Mr. Sapp’s class! 💡🎉
