Middle School

Avalon School

Our goals are to create a space for students to engage in hands on learning to create a program led by and sustained by students and to create a program that engages our students in the larger community. The grant will help our school become more environmentally responsible and create an innovative learning space that will help students who have trouble learning in a traditional school environment thrive. It will also help our student leaders learn leadership skills.

ESYNOLA, Arthur Ashe Charter School

Kansas Avenue Learning Garden

Bend a city of over 80 000 has only one school garden and a couple community gardens--currently filled to capacity--accessible to children. Our garden will help fill this gap by serving 400 students each year. Connecting kids with the food they grow and eat will improve their health and provide a practical framework for teaching and learning about sustainability. The garden will also reach adults with periodic educational programs and by increasing capacity for community garden plots.

Alternative School - Indian Oasis Baboquivari Unified School District

The Alternative School in Indian Oasis Baboquivari Unified School district is where students are sent instead of expelling them so Project Oidag members TOCA and our Food Corps members weren't sure what to expect at first. It turns out that these are the sweetest students you could find and they have really responded enthusiastically to our weekly activities. So the garden is more than a garden for these kids. It's an oasis an affirmation and a place to succeed.

The Schoolyard Garden at the Academy for Global Citizenship

Environmental sustainability roots AGC’s education in the natural world. We believe that learning in harmony with nature provides opportunities to understand the relevance of our education. Learning from natural processes is a powerful vehicle for teaching our students about the connection between their everyday choices and the health of the community, the environment, and themselves.
 

Atlanta Speech School

The overarching goal of all campus gardens is to increase exposure to language as it relates to nature food recycling and sustainability. Children gain vocabulary and context as they plan plant maintain harvest and est fresh produce. Specifically this grant will make possible the creation of two beds that are larger in scale than the beds currently on campus. This larger space will significantly expand planting possibilities and compost space allowing more children to work at one time.

Atlanta International School

Our garden goal is to enhance our school garden so that each child can plant and harvest a crop of vegetables prior to leaving school for the summer. We also want to increase access to nutritious sustainable and healthy foods on campus and to promote zero waste goals. Our garden will create new learning opportunities for students that will be involved in garden projects. We would like this garden to increase awareness about health and sustainability by striving to enhance IB learning.

Aspen Community School

Our goal is for ACS students to learn about the importance of growing and eating local foods and to understand agricultural seasons. The garden program will also enhance academic studies: students will integrate their experience into the classroom by writing and drawing about the garden; students will use math to design the garden plot and planting diagrams; students will apply natual science as they dig into the earth and learn about plant varieties and seasons.

Aspen Community Magnet School

The School wishes to add raised beds more fruit trees and to improve upon the outdoor classroom.
