Point Road School

Students, teachers, staff, PTO families, and community volunteers will transform the barren and unused areas of our school courtyard into a thriving garden with raised beds containing a rainbow of vegetables, herbs, edible flowers, and even berries.

PreK-4 students will plant and care for the garden; sample delicious, nutritious food; share fresh fare with family members (who'll be encouraged to plant seedlings at home); and donate some of our produce to an area food bank.

Through cross-curricular, hands-on lessons students will learn that planting, caring for, and composting a garden brings science
