Orchard Lake Middle School

Since our most recent data shows that more than a quarter of our school population receive free and reduced lunch, we realize the great need to educate our students in a way we have never been able to educate them before. With an addition of an outdoor garden to our school property, we will be adding a unique classroom experience for our students to learn about growing fruits and vegetables. Most importantly, we plan to provide sustainable life skills that far exceed what we teach them in three years at OLMS.

"Sheiko received funding for an educational program developed by Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital, which focuses on fitness and nutrition for kids. All of the school's students will participate in a five-session program, while the hospital installs six hydroponic flood and drain systems at the school and will provide seeds and plants."
