Red Oak Elementary

Red Oak Elementary would like to implement the "Garbage to Garden" project to establish a sustainable vegetable garden that uses environmentally sound practices. In the first project, we would like to establish an interactive worm composting bin using food scraps from the school cafeteria. In the second project, we would like to establish a hands-on vegetable garden. The students and teachers will be actively involved in this process because they will set-up the initial composting bin and vegetable garden. Also, classes at Red Oak Elementary can voluntarily sign-up to maintain and research the physical and chemical changes that occur while doing hands-on activities related to the vegetable garden and the vermi-composting bin. Technology will be integrated because each project will be documented using a camera and video recording software.
