HES Garden Grow

The Herndon Elementary School (HES) Garden program was started in 2015 by a parent with a desire to get the students outside and have them get their hands dirty. In the 2016-17 school year, the garden program expanded to include not only time outside planting, but complimentary classroom curriculum as well. In the current 2017-18 school year, our students are studying subjects such as compost, weather, honeybees, square foot gardening, ecosystems and more. Additionally, we have students writing about the garden as part of their language arts curriculum.

Northwest Virginia Regional GREENetwork

The Northwest Virginia Regional GREENetwork started with a handful of Loudoun County public school sustainable student programs.  Seven years later we recently became a regional with four other counties.  We are an independent group that sought to communicate with other school clubs in our Network, sharing related information from within and seeking to connect with related organizations and companies.  Our Vision is to promote environmental literacy and stewardship with the environmental school clubs.

ChicopeeFRESH is the farm-to-school program of the Chicopee Public Schools. Our mission is to provide every student in the district with access to locally sourced and nutritious meals, along with experiential learning opportunities in the classroom and school garden. Through the ChicopeeFRESH program, we aim to achieve food security in our community, support the New England food economy, and empower our students to develop healthy and positive relationships with their food.
