Lower Elementary

Williams Elementary School, San Jose, California

 I'm the Garden Coordinator for Williams Elementary School, a public elementary school in the Almaden area of San Jose.  Though we are not a low income school, we are a high achieving school, which keeps the teachers and students pressured with lots of papers.  I try to get classrooms and children out into the garden in order to learn with their whole bodies.  It's very rewarding, lots of work, and tons of fun.

 

Florida for Growing Gardens

I can gather police department officials being that my father is a Lieutenant of the Metro-Dade police department. I can also hold a town meeting being that the officials reside on my street. I can get in contact with the presdient of FIU being that I am still a student. I can gather a handful of principals from public and private schools and I can also gather Judicial officials from the state if needed to truly have an impacting message to the community.
