About the Program: 

A primary goal of the Everett Gardens is to increase scores in Math, Science in ELA tests through hands on experiential learning. By encouraging purposeful learning through active participation, students will engage in instruction that is more relevant and expecting of personal responsibility and accountability for learning. A second goal is to have students understand the importance of food access and to create a needs assessment for our own community. As a result, students will grow food that will be used in creating healthy recipes, be sold at the local farmers market, be donated to the culinary arts program and used in their own homes.
