It was just a couple of months ago that First Lady Michelle Obama invited several fifth students from Bancroft Elementary in Washington, DC to assist her in planting and cultivating a vegetable garden at the White House.
Her garden project had a two-fold purpose: 1) Inspire the children to include healthy fruits and vegetables in their diet, 2) Encourage them to help provide food for those who are less fortunate.
Well on Friday she decided to check on her new found friends by paying them a visit.
The students who were happy to see her, displayed their gratitude for the White House junket by reading personal essays they wrote. The essays described how she'd made a positive difference in their lives and what they have learned about proper Nutrition.
Mrs. Obama obviously very pleased with what she heard each child share, then gave them an update on the garden's progress.
"It is blooming. It is bursting," she stated.
