Academic Classrooms

Skyline High School

Skyline High School was created in 1970 and was one of the first magnet and career development programs.  The students are about 98% latino and are considered at risk because they have a low socioeconomic status.  My students eat mainly processed foods so it's my efforts to expose them to whole foods.  I've been a culinary arts instructor for Skyline only a year and see the gaps where our program can grow into something pretty amazing.

MDPS

It takes a village to raise respectable, ambitious, intelligent, generous and well-rounded children. Public school educators are a huge part of this village, who need to be nimble in providing access to these fundamentals both in a traditional classroom environment and in a more organic setting.  Having an edible schoolyard is a key variable in this equation.  

B.A.G.G. The edible.urban garden from seed thru kitchen

We are Brooklyn Apple Garden Group.  A community based organization started by two sisters concern about the downward decline in their neighborhood.  These concerns included food justice issues and health and wellness issues, neglect and the insurgent of gentrification and its impact on communities of color.  We are introducing healthier lifestyles at the most optimal point of entry:  the future (of change) - the children.

Anacostia High School Garden Club

We are a club at Anacostia High School (a Title I public school school) that meets weekly to provide an after school activity and volunteer opportunities for students. Our students are brilliant, strong young individuals that learn best through hands-on, project-based learning. Every student we work with has a disability that requires they learn in a self-contained setting, and these students have faced many hardships throughout their short lives.

Dexter Farm to School

To address the needs of student heath and wellness within the Dexter community and connect students to local food and agriculture, The Dexter Farm to School Program was established in 2013. The mission of DFtS is to cultivate improvements in personal and community wellness through making meaningful connections between students, food and local agriculture.  To fulfill this mission statement, the DFtS program includes farm visits, farmer in the classroom presentations, classroom instruction, garden instruction, and cafeteria servings.

Downtown Teaching Farm

Our downtown Boise campus is 6 seasons into an amazing partnership with a neighboring church to tend and manage large school farm and community garden (2/3 acre edibles and pollinator gardens, 1/3 acre community orchard), known as the Downtown Teaching Farm.

The Edible Garden at the American Overseas School of Rome

The Edible Garden at AOSR, was created out of the desire of teacher, parents and administrators recognizing the importance of teaching students to grow clean food and care for the earth, the environment and each other. Our Garden was born thanks to the encouragement of Alice Water whom I met at The American Academy of Rome. Alice encouraged our vision and gave us ideas and collaborators actively supporting us in the creation of our Edible Garden.
