Dann C. Byck Elementary School

Giving each child the opportunity to learn planting growing cycles and food literacy is the goal of Byck's gardens. Our school features both a Waldorf-Inspired.and a Talent Development program; both ways of learning develop artistic and creative knowledge through gardening. Situated in a low-income neighborhood many Byck students close to 90% are eligible for free or reduced-price lunches. The gardens provide an academic outlet as well as a basic understanding of how to grow healthy food.
