For the past twelve years, Professor Schneller has introduced his students to the importance and value of learning through teaching by having them teach a lesson designed by Shelburne Farms in Burlington, Vermont, called 鈥淭he Fab Five in the Garden.鈥� This lesson teaches first, second, and third graders in Saratoga Springs about the five things that plants need to survive: water, soil, air, space, and sunlight.

Skidmore鈥檚 FeedMore Club is connecting the campus to the community of Saratoga Springs. In the fall of 2023 alone, FeedMore helped Skidmore donate 3,532 pounds of food. This food would have ended up being discarded and wasted, contributing to greenhouse gasses and climate change; and instead, went to help those in need in the Saratoga Springs community.

The partnership between Skidmore鈥檚 Social Work Department and the long-running Saratoga nonprofit, which is led by Skidmore alumna Sybil Newell 鈥�00, has a powerful impact on the students and the struggling populations they鈥檙e serving.
