Sherman School of Excellence

The Sherman School of Excellence School Garden Project seeks to achieve the following overall goals: - Increase student knowledge of where their food comes. - Majority of participating students will exhibit a positive attitude towards healthy foods. - Build leadership and teamwork amongst students through ownership of the school garden. - Involve parents through the design and upkeep of the garden. A grant from the Whole Kids Foundation will support improvements to the Sherman School of Excellence property and create an outdoor learning space where students and parents can get involved.

Bullock Children's Garden

In our Bullock Children's Garden/Outdoor Classroom lessons will come alive as students actively investigate while interacting within the garden. We will connect the concepts we teach in the classroom to real world experiences, while integrating literacy, writing, math, science, social studies, art, music, nutrition, and even concepts of engineering and technology (utilizing STEM concepts/units). This will all be accomplished while immersing the children in the beauty of nature, creating an interactive, organic, EDIBLE garden and integrating the Common Core Standards.

The Garden at AT&T Park

Located behind centerfield wall, just under the scoreboard, there’s a 4,320-square-foot edible garden that offers a bounty of fruits, vegetables, greens, and flowers. All year long, chefs harvest whatever’s ripe: blueberries, strawberries, avocados, tomatoes, peppers, squash, lettuces, lemons, kale and more are picked fresh and served in the healthy menu offerings of the two Bon Appétit bistros located inside the garden, Hearth Table and Garden Table.

North Shore Community School excels in connecting our students’ academics and learning with their natural and social environments in a nurturing community setting. We use the environment as an integrating context for learning in all subject areas.

Teachers use guided inquiry to capitalize on students interests and engage learners in meaningful encounters.
