Lower Elementary

J E Moss Elementary School

Initially, our garden will be the focus for Project Based Learning for our school of nearly 1000 students. Students will answer driving questions designed to solve problems in our school, community and country. The research to answer these questions will be cross-curricular and student driven. Students will also have voice and choice in the selection of the problems and the presentation of the research. The research and solutions will be presented to a community based audience at the conclusion of the project.

Food Literacy Center

Founded in 2011 as a 501c3 nonprofit, our mission is to inspire kids to eat their vegetables. We teach low-income elementary children cooking and nutrition to improve our health, environment and economy. We have developed a 14-week curriculum. We use positive discipline in our instruction, and we keep our lessons fun, approachable, and hands-on. We use Broccoli Boundaries & Radish Routines to help students build lifelong habits and to become Food Adventurers. We started our nonprofit serving one school, and are now serving 800 elementary students in 8 schools weekly.

Farmers in the Playground

Farmers in the Playgound, located in the schoolyards of several elementary schools in the Muskoka Region of Ontario, Canada is a program that unites kids to their food! Along with food garden facilitators, school staff and volunteers, children build, plant and grow food gardens on their school grounds. Gardening is not complete without the link it has to our tummies, so for half of the 1 full-day per week program(runs approx.10 weeks) the students are in the dirt and the other half brings them to the kitchen preparing lunch for themselves and sometimes their entire school.

Roxbury Central School Garden

The RCS garden club, harvested its first crops in 2003 and garden activities have been integrated into core curriculum, into the after school program, the summer youth program, and the community at large, who often donate tools, perennials and seeds. Students are involved in every aspect of the garden; designing a planting schedule, selection and maintenance of the crops, monitoring soil and compost health, and harvesting the boutny for the cafeteria. The goals of the garden are to enhance student ecological and agricultural literacy and environmental awareness.
