Meadows Elementary

We have three major goals for our school garden.
1.Increase Home-School Connection
•The garden will allow the parents, teachers and students to work side by side as a team in order to achieve a common goal.
•Parents will be able to showcase skills that may not fit into a traditional school setting i.e. construction, landscaping, and agricultural knowledge.
2.Making education hands-on and relevant
•Our student’s natural curiosity will be peaked the first time they experience something new.
•The students will learn through real-life experiences as they work in the garden.
•While interacting in the garden the students will be able to apply concepts learned in the classroom which ensures students will retain the concept.
3.Improving overall health/wellness of our school community
•Paired with our Healthy Zone School Initiative we will be arming our students with the knowledge to live a healthy and positive life.
