Kindergarten

At CHRSC, our mission is #TeachFeedSucceed, a theme that runs through all our programs. We proudly serve Georgetown County focusing on our processes and celebrating our diverse community. Carolina Kids (CK): Our afterschool program currently supports over 82 students, fostering a passion for learning and personal growth. CK Farm to School: 64 Garden beds have been installed at local schools. Students tend the gardens, weigh, and harvest: all produce is sent home with the students thereby promoting healthy eating for all ages.

Through growing, processing, cooking, eating, studying, talking and thinking about food, students develop skills, knowledge and behavior that enrich their academic and nonacademic lives, bolster their growth as individuals and in relationships, and cultivate meaningful engagements with their own health, the health of their communities and health of the planet.

Killip Elementary School Garden and Garden Classroom which is found in Sunnyside neighborhood of Flagstaff covers slightly less than 5000 square feet and is divided in four parts. There is the main vegetable and herb garden, a learning garden dedicated to the first-grade science units, a commercially certified garden that provides food directly for our cafeteria and a native plants area specializing in Flagstaff’s unique flora.

Through the Garden Science Enrichment program, the students (Preschool-5th grade) have an opportunity to learn about growing food and environmentally sustainable practices. The future of the Garden Science program includes an integration of cross-curricular and hands-on learning experiences with classroom academics and development of social-emotional regulation through nature and community service.
