HIAO(Healthy Inside and Outside)

We call ourselves "HIAO" which means Healthy Inside and Outside. We want our bodies to be healthy inside as well as the environment we live in.  I teach a "Food Science Lab" and I incoportate cooking experiements that can be eaten!  Each week we have Lab that is coordinated with our Science, Math, Social Studies,  ELA classes. I also incorporate Wellness lessons into our cooking. We will soon be erecting an indoor garden because where we are located doesn't allow us to a school garden. We plan on erecting a community garden in the near future.

Beau Jardin

In the fall of 2013, my 2nd grade French Immersion class started a 700 square foot garden. The purpose of this garden is to enrich our science curriculum capabilities in my grade level and others, provide an extension to our classroom learning about nutrition, and provide food donations to needy families in our school as well as a local soup kitchen, Abraham's Tent. We complete year-long studies about plants, bugs, health, and cycles of all kinds. 

Rockland Country Day School Organic Garden

RCDS organic garden program was founded as an exploratory native plant garden. Over the years a small pond has been added and raised beds were built and a solar powered shed with a hot house was built, all done by students and volunteers.

We are educating k-8 students on a year round basis (inside during inclement months) focusing on incoporating STEM in to every lesson and connecting our program to other Parteners for Change affiliates and create a truly sustainable organic edible garden and garden-to-cafeteria experience.
