Sandcreek Middle School

First and foremost is the goal to engagement of our students in the agricultural process. Our school is very involved in S.T.E.M. activities/interventions (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). The projects will be looked at from both an agricultural and a scientific approach. We intend that all of our 779 students participate during our S.T.E.M. activity rotations (weekly). In addition, we have several schools that are close enough for walking field trips (three elementary schools and a high school). These other schools have a combined population of 2,600 students. We will be able to bring gardening to 3000 plus students from our centralized location. This grant will enable us to complete what has been a three year process in bringing this garden to fruition. we have the fenced-in area, a shed, a greenhouse (because our growing season is shorter) , and planter boxes, but still need to bring a water source from the building to be free of freezing concerns.
