Pathfinder Earth Project

The Earth Project (EP) is a collaboration between  our local non-profit Nature Consortium and Pathfinder K-8  that exists to foster environmental awareness and stweardship in our school community. One of the main ways this is done is through the Organic Garden Classroom where students participate in all aspects of food production. Another project of the EP is the school's Green Team, whose student members help other students to sort lunchroom waste, recycling, and compost properly.

Seeds of Change Organic School Garden

In our program, we adapted a program similar to Harvest of the Month. In the beginning, we chose a fruit or vegetable to feature for the month and talked with the kids about why they should eat, how it is grown, and then they got to sample it. As a Parent Wellness Committee, we were involved in writing local grants and also a grant from the Whole Kids Foundation, through Whole Foods. We were so fortunate to attain both of those grants to start our school garden!

The Green Flash Garden
