Students' Organization for Sustainability

 Student's Organization for Sustainability is a student run club at Las Positas College in Livermore, CA.

Our goal is to promote awareness of our environmental impact through education, activities and events. We plan to organize tree plantings, coordinate volunteer activities and work together with professors, other students and clubs on campus as well as with local organizations to help foster knowledge of ways to share information and live more sustainable lifestyles.

St. Nicholas School Garden

The St. Nicholas School Garden is a place for patience, responsibility, service and learning.  We are currently growing a vegetable garden, and herb garden and we are beginning a flower garden soon.  The vegetable garden will supply the salad bar for the school cafeteria.  Our garden is integrated into science and math curriculum, as well as Language Arts, making hands-on curriculum connection for kids.

St. Nicholas believes in teaching the whole child and instilling a lifelong love of learning!

 

 

Human Health and the Organic Garden

As society advances, people have become increasingly detached from their food sources. The way modern humans live and eat is incredibly different than the way ancestral populations have dealt with food. This has led to an increased prevalence of human health diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. This program strives to explore material from the Integrative Biology department at UC Berkeley to better understand the benefits plant based nutrition and medicine have on human health.

Grimmway Schools Edible Schoolyards

Our mission at Grimmway Academy Edible Schoolyard is to create and sustain an organic garden and learning kitchen that is integrated into the school’s curriculum and culture. We also want to encourage children to discover and develop a healthy relationship with the food they eat. Modeled after the pioneering work of Alice Waters' Edible Schoolyard in Berkeley and the Buena Vista Edible Schoolyard in Bakersfield, we have wholly integrated an organic garden and kitchen classroom into the culture and campus of Grimmway Academy, a charter school in the rural town of Arvin, CA.

The Garden Project: Cafe

At bellcate School we believe that all students are valuable and possess the ability to contribute something meaningful to the world. We believe that in order to harvest these gifts it is essential to identify and address basic human and unique individual needs (physiological, safety and security, belonging, love, acceptance, esteem, approval and recognition). Our mission and core values support the bellcate School philosophy.

Einstein Edible School Yard

Started in 2009, the Einstein Edible School Yard involves all 8th graders and some 7th graders directly in organic vegetable gardening throughout the school year. It is based on the ESY in Berkeley and the principles in Richard Louv's book, Last Child in the Woods. The gardens teach about water quality, care of the soil, basic life skills, self-confidence, health and nutrition, and leadership. Involvement in the gardens also increases school attachment for increased academic achievement. They are also used for field stuides in science classes.
