Evelyn Thurman Gratts Elementary

Our goal is to give our students an opportunity to develop their own fruits and vegetable garden. Our hope is that by giving our students and their families the opportunity to participate in this journey, we will inspire in them a new appreciation of the many gifts that nature has to offer, introduce them to the joy and satisfaction of growing fresh fruits and vegetables, and nurture an awareness about protecting the environment we live in. Our goal is also to integrate science and writing together as students engage in inquiry around what happens in a garden. This grant will allow us to purchase the necessary items to make this happen.
