Robinson (jackie)

The goal of the new garden at Robinson Academy will be to provide a vehicle for addressing needs in the areas of nutrition, health and asthma prevention to the student population and local community.

Each of our grade levels are responsible for maintaining portions of the garden for the school year as part of the learning process.
