Evanston Ecology Center Food and Garden Program

Mountain Song Community School

 We are a new Waldorf methods based charter school in Colorado Springs with Agricultural Arts and Cooking Nutrition as an integral part of our curriculum.  Although 33% of our students qualify for free and reduced lunch, we have chosen to be independent of state/federal program - our students brown bag snacks and lunch. We plan to expand our gardens and growing spaces (which started on a parking lot bed) to help support a locally sourced school food and our existing cooking program.

Chickasaw Elementary Outdoor Classroom

Our outdoor classroom is designed to meet several purposes within our school.  First it gives hands on experience to students in grades K-5 that align with national reading, math and science standards.  It also serves as outdoor experience for our special education population.  Students are able to interact in a real world situation with gardeners, farmers, and other volunteers. 

Baltimore Urban Gardening with Students

The Baltimore Urban Gardening with Students (BUGS) Program of Living Classrooms Foundation works with children from under-served Baltimore City communities throughout the year with an after-school program as well as a summer program.

Growing Healthy Kids in the Garden

We have strategic parterships with Boys and Girls Clubs and Youth Mentoring programs which allow us to reach children and families who live in food deserts where there is a higher incidence of obesity-related diseases.  Using new technology such as airponic growing systems, we bring fresh food production into the classroom.  

The Children's House Earth to Table

 We believe that education for all children should integrate opportunities to understand about the importance of a healthy body and mind. Through our Earth to Table program, it is our mission to offer children developmentally appropriate opportunities for physical activity, gardening, and cooking. Our vision is for every child to learn healthy practices from the start and lifestyle habits that will last a lifetime. Additionally, we hope to offer opportunities for other programs to learn from our model.
