Mother Caroline Academy

We will use our school garden as a classroom tool which will not only enrich our curriculum, but extend the borders of our lessons and advance our school mission and commitment to lifelong learning. This grant would expand our garden's reach to begin and implement a garden-to-table curriculum and program where we can plant, harvest and prepare vegetables from our own backyard in our school cafeteria. We believe that with your support, we would have an incredible opportunity to let our school garden reap untold rewards by promoting community, serving as an invaluable cross-curricular supplement and resource, and also by becoming an instrumental and foundational piece for a new nutrition curriculum which would be implemented school-wide. By expanding and further cultivating our garden, we can use it as a way to increase the visibility of some of these larger goals, and also to deepen our student's attachment to the natural world and commitment to environmental and community stewardship.
