School Cafeterias

Detroit Achievement Academy

We are an elementary school on the northwest side of Detroit that currently serves 105 students between the ages of 5-10. Since opening our doors, we have been the highest performing primary school in the city, with our students’ academic growth in the 99th percentile nationally. As a school we exist to holistically support the education and development of students who have the determination, drive, and skills to shape their own path of high achievement with the ultimate goal of creating civically engaged, joyful citizens who are ready to change the world.

Belle Chasse Academy

The mission of the Belle Chasse Academy Victory Garden is to provide students and their families with life skills, health literacy, and economic insight through the integration of the garden and kitchen classroom experience into our daily school curriculum and the local economy.  This will be accomplished through a hands-on holistic approach that immerses students in gardening, making healthy food choices, improving our environment, and becoming a community with a smaller carbon footprint and larger ecological “hand-print.”

Hellstern Middle School

FoodCorps service members help run Hellstern Middle School's community garden. The Hellstern garden provides opportunities for hands-on learning and skill building for the students as well as a living classroom for garden-based math and language arts classes. In addition, it provides fresh fruits and vegetables for the Hellstern cafeteria and a student-run farmers market. 

Temple Terrace farm to school garden

Farm to school-based education for all grades. I work closely with teachers, students and the cafeteria to provide healthy breakfast and lunch. Children are taught how to make healthy choices.

Kanyon Kids Garden

Our school is very remote and a 40 minute drive to a grocery store and even farther for larger shopping choices. Our school has a population of 61 students and 80% of our student body are First Nations Peoples. Living in such a remote area meant less healthy choices for students and community members so it came about that the students wanted to grow food for the lunch program but also for community members as well.

Holy Family Parish Garden

The Holy Family Parish Garden was started as a service learning project by the 2014-2015 5th grade class.  Our goal was to create a pallet style garden, easy to maintain, on an empty Parish lot across from the school, that we could grow good quality, organic vegetables to for the Parish Food Pantry during the summer, and the School during the school year when the garden was viable.  (Winter months are a little tricky in Mid-Michigan for growing much.) We began by studying and learning the basics of plant biology and growth.

Ecodiet

Ecodiet promotes an animal friendly, organic, non GM, non chemical additives and non dairy diet for both health and our enviroment, with the goal of helping people to learn more about nutrition and to avoid animal abuse and any highly processed, genetically modified food products.

We aim to change the food option in school cafeteria in Notre Dame High school Belmont

And we are launching an organic garden in our high school

Laura Beach Giving Garden

The Laura Beach Giving Garden is located at Espiritu Santo Catholic School. There are currently 9 raised beds (one for each grade) growing vegetables and herbs including; carrots, pole beans, beets, radishes, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cherry tomatoes, squash, cilantro, dill, and egg plant. The garden also has a butterfly habitat in order to attract pollinators. This garden not only serves as an outdoor classroom but teaches the spirit of giving.

Riverside Elementary School FCPS

An outdoor science classroom where elementary school children learn to grow nutritional food and to recycle from their cafeteria.  The edible garden will be incorporated into the Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics curriculum.
