About the Program:
Our first priority is to educate and inspire our students with the use of our passive solar greenhouse. This student-led project has directly involved over 100 students in the planning and building phases. Once we begin to produce greens our students will be able to enjoy healthy, fresh, organic salads grown in their own backyard. The greenhouse will be used as an ecducation tool to extend the classroom as the students learn real-world applications of the growing process. We believe this experience will inspire students to become involved, make healthier choices, and reflect on their own lifestyle and what effect that has on our global community.
