Hope Leadership Academy Charter School

Our garden's goal is to give our students the opportunity and responsibility to grow, maintain, harvest and enjoy their very own foods! Our students will be able to see the growth cycle, learn about garden care, cook and enjoy the produce from our school's garden. This grant will make it possible for our students to have first-time, hands-on experience with gardening. All of our students come from socioeconomically challenged households, many of whom only have the opportunity to eat breakfast at lunch because they are at school. This grant will also give our students to continue to work as a team, not only in their grade-level classrooms, but as school. This grant will make it possible for our parents and community to be more involved with our students by helping water and care for the garden and joining their students to eat what is grown.
