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.

Airport Heights Elementary School Farm to School Project

Airport Heights Elementary School has a school garden where they grow carrots, potatoes, and flowers in raised beds constructed by the students. The garden is tended by the Aiport Heights Garden Club, Marcy Jasper's 2nd grade class, and Summer Library students. Emily Becker's 5th/6th grade class has also worked with a local landscape architect, Johny Hayes from Bettisworth North, to design improvement projects for the school grounds.

Juan de Onate Elementary School Garden

Juan de Onate School garden is a garden set in a government subsidized housing unit on the Northside of Gallup, NM. The garden has been in existence for 5 years, but has struggled to become well established due to changing locations, vandalism, and inconsistent leadership. In the past two years the school garden has really flourished due to a few school champions and the help from FoodCorps service members. The garden now has regular visitors in the forms of whole classes, school staff, and community members.
