High School

Corvallis Environmental Center: Edible Corvallis Initiative

Our Farm to School programs makes connections between our food system and our school system. We work directly with school districts to procure and promote locally grown foods. Our program is working to increase the use of local foods, encourage our children to make healthy eating choices, and support regional farmers.

Cascade High School

Our goal is to grow organic food for the community. After clearing cleaning and fixing the greenhouses we will plant seeds and raise food crops learning sustainable agriculture and science concepts in a unique environment. Young plants will be transferred to The Red Barn Community Farm where they will be raised to maturity by community volunteers. The food will then be donated to local food banks. Future projects include growing flowers. The grant will fund greenhouse renovation and soil.

Fall 2016 update:

Avalon School

Our goals are to create a space for students to engage in hands on learning to create a program led by and sustained by students and to create a program that engages our students in the larger community. The grant will help our school become more environmentally responsible and create an innovative learning space that will help students who have trouble learning in a traditional school environment thrive. It will also help our student leaders learn leadership skills.

Archbishop Romero Catholic Seconday School

Our gardening goal is to increase access to fresh healthy food food growing spaces and food education in our community. Two challenges that our partner schools face with independent gardens are teacher time and summer maintenance. By including community partners and volunteers our goal is to share the work and the reward while learning about food together. By working collectively in public spaces we will learn from our diversity get to know one another better and enjoy delicious healthy food

Alternative School - Indian Oasis Baboquivari Unified School District

The Alternative School in Indian Oasis Baboquivari Unified School district is where students are sent instead of expelling them so Project Oidag members TOCA and our Food Corps members weren't sure what to expect at first. It turns out that these are the sweetest students you could find and they have really responded enthusiastically to our weekly activities. So the garden is more than a garden for these kids. It's an oasis an affirmation and a place to succeed.

Atlanta Speech School

The overarching goal of all campus gardens is to increase exposure to language as it relates to nature food recycling and sustainability. Children gain vocabulary and context as they plan plant maintain harvest and est fresh produce. Specifically this grant will make possible the creation of two beds that are larger in scale than the beds currently on campus. This larger space will significantly expand planting possibilities and compost space allowing more children to work at one time.

Atlanta International School

Our garden goal is to enhance our school garden so that each child can plant and harvest a crop of vegetables prior to leaving school for the summer. We also want to increase access to nutritious sustainable and healthy foods on campus and to promote zero waste goals. Our garden will create new learning opportunities for students that will be involved in garden projects. We would like this garden to increase awareness about health and sustainability by striving to enhance IB learning.
