Remarks
by the First Lady at White House Kitchen Garden Harvest
October 14, 2014
Kitchen Garden
MRS. OBAMA: Hey, kids, what’s happening?
CHILDREN: Nothing.
MRS. OBAMA: Are you ready to harvest the White House
Garden?
CHILDREN: Yes!
MRS. OBAMA: Are you excited?
CHILDREN: Yes!
MRS. OBAMA: How excited are you?
CHILDREN: Very!
MRS. OBAMA: That’s good, that’s good. All right, I want to make sure everybody
knows which schools are here, okay? So
when I say your school, I want the students to give me the loudest yell, along
with their teachers or parents, whoever are with you, the loudest shout. You got nothing. I got no gifts for you, but it will just be
cool to hear it.
We’ve got the STAR School from
Flagstaff, Arizona. Where are you guys?
CHILDREN: Yes!
(Applause.)
MRS. OBAMA: Come on, you guys can do better than that. Let me hear it.
CHILDREN: Yes!
(Applause.)
MRS. OBAMA: Whoa, I think you all are sleepy. (Laughter.)
You got an early start to get here, didn’t you? (Laughter.)
All right we have Willow Cove
Elementary School from Pittsburg, California.
Let’s hear you.
CHILDREN: Yes!
(Applause.)
MRS. OBAMA: Welcome.
(Laughter.) We have Greenview
Upper Elementary School from Lyndhurst, Ohio.
CHILDREN: Yes!
(Applause.)
MRS. OBAMA: Oh, wait, I think so far they’re winning from
Ohio on the screaming. But we have some
hometown schools here, some of our partners who were here for every planting
and every harvest. We have students from
Harriet Tubman.
CHILDREN: Yes!
(Applause.)
MRS. OBAMA: All right, that sounds like home. (Laughter.)
Was that a little loud for you, too?
That was a little loud. That was
good. That was good. And of course, we’ve got Bancroft Elementary
School.
CHILDREN: Yes!
(Applause.)
MRS. OBAMA: It’s old hat for them. They’re just – it’s like, oh, whatever.
So can you – look at the
garden. Look how amazing it looks over
there. And it’s beautiful. It looks like a whole other place over
there. And just imagine that everything
was just dirt just a few months ago. And
because the summer was so cool and wet and beautiful, everything is just
bursting. And it’s just amazing over
there.
So I’m happy that you guys are
here to help me because we couldn’t get this done without you. And when we finish harvesting, we’re going to
actually do some cooking with our chefs and some eating. So let’s get started. You guys have your assignments?
CHILDREN: Yes.
MRS. OBAMA: All right, let’s move. Let’s move. Let’s go. |
