Eco-Schools USA

National Wildlife Federation granted host status from FEE to establish Eco-Schools programming for the United States

In December 2008, the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) was granted host status for K-12 schools in the United States by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE).  This honor - this charge - fits seamlessly with NWF's work to promote environmental education, connect people with nature and raise awareness about the impacts to people and wildlife from climate change.

Brain Child Press

 Brain Child Press was founded to respond to the growing childhood obesity epidemic and the dual crises of poor health and low literacy in the U.S.  We saw the expanding need for attractive, easy-to-read educational materials that address topics essential to the healthy development of children. Since 2005 our materials have been used around the nation by agencies, programs, and individuals working toward healthier  families and communities.

Joseph Sears School Outdoor Classroom

The Outdoor Classroom is an outdoor space for student exploration, inquiry, discovery and learning.  It is filled with native prairie, woodland flowers, butterfly garden and a rain garden. In addition, we have 4 raised vegetable beds, a low vegetable bed, Concord grape vineyard, blueberry, raspberry and strawberry bushes and places to sit, study and enjoy the garden. The outdoor classroom is maintained by students, staff, and parents. During summer months, family volunteers adopted a week to weed, harvest and maintain with the help of The Organic Gardener every Friday.

Peabody Charter School Cafeteria

Peabody Charter School Cafeteria has operated a cook from scratch cafeteria for nearly 20 years with a menu that empahsizes whole grains and local, fresh poduce.  We facilitate classroom coooking projects, after school cooking classes and family dinners.  Our school gardens offer lots of hands on experiences for children to dig in the dirt and cook what they grow.  Several times a year we host Celebrity Chef lunches.  A local chef plans a menu that meets the requirements of the National School Lunch Program and then supervises our kitchen staff in preparing and serving the meal to students,

Pilot Light

Mission
Pilot Light’s mission is to support teachers in creating food-based classroom lessons that support children with the knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and skills they need to have healthy relationships with food. To do that, Pilot Light has developed a cohesive model for classroom food education, incorporating food as a lens for traditional subjects, such as Math, Reading, History, and Science in K-12 classrooms.

Mobile Greenhouse Project

The Mobile Greenhouse Project is designed as a way to make food growing fun and interesting for kids and adults.

I travel with my converted school bus to schools and events and offer my services to install gardens at schools, clubs and churches. I also help with community gardens and private residence gardens.
