About the Program: 

Our goal is to raise school pride. We are located in a district with a few a challenges. Many of our students have never had experience raising something from a seed and feeling good about watching a product grow...about nurturing a product. In fact, nurturing is what they get here at our school. In many cases it was our Title I school personnel that introduced the concept of nurturing to our elementary students. Our goal is to show how a person can work hard and feed themselves as a result of their work efforts and with any luck can feed others too. Working toward our goals and reaching our goals will help our community to feel success. We will invite participation. We will share our photos. We will share our produce.
