Barbara Morgan Stem Academy

This garden will enhance our school's STEM program so that we can develop and support our children's endeavors in the area of science and curriculum integration. This is our second year as a STEM school and our community and students are very supportive about our continued growth. All year we weave in bits and pieces of life science into our curriculum. With a school garden we would have a place to grow our plants and each grade level would have an area to maintain. All of our life science units in grades Upper Elementary have a connection to plant growth and development and there are many connections with our math and literature units as well. With the integration of ideas in Upper Elementary, it would be wonderful to make this garden something they can experience and learn from. We have many families and teachers who are willing to keep up the garden during the summer months as well. We are needing materials to build garden boxes, put in automatic sprinklers and fencing.
