SNAP-ed program hopes to bring agriculture to classroom

ZION GROVE, SCHUYLKILL COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — The SNAP-ed program is hoping to help bring agriculture back into the classroom. The program provides the opportunity for farmers to educate kids and teachers about the importance of agriculture and what they do day-to-day.

This also helps the farm by associating a face with the food kids are eating.

Davis Grown, a farm in Schuylkill County, is supplying four schools with 500 pounds of locally sourced ground beef.

SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — A Scranton teen who faced a life-threatening cancer diagnosis had her dream come true, thanks to Make-A-Wish.

At just 16 years old, Gemma Bistran has been through more than most her age. Two years ago, she was diagnosed with lymphoma, a life-threatening form of cancer.

"They found out that it was primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma, which is a rare and aggressive form. I had it for 16 weeks before that, it just traveled extremely rapidly," Gemma explained.
