Rio Vista Middle School

At this time our Middle School consists of a beautiful school building with a large baseball/soccer field and basketball courts. What our school lacks at this time is greenery. The perimeter of the school has trees and flowers planted by the City of Oxnard, but once you step foot inside the campus it becomes a different story. Our quad area has had some new trees planted, but they are rather young and small. There are no flowers or plants growing alongside the sidewalks and grass. Our garden's goal is for all students to learn from this project and for many to have a hands on world experience. By tending the soil, keeping track of the materials needed, use of recycled materials and maintaining a garden, students will be able to produce food for themselves to taste and experiment cooking with, but also to reach out to the community in order to educate others of the importance of growing your own food and eating healthier.
