Douglas Elementary

Our garden's goal is to help educate our students and community members about not only nutrition and how plants are planted and grow, but about being a community member, helper, and understanding differences in peoples lives. We want to utilize this grant for tools and tool storage so the children have something to use during class times outside in the garden. We would also utilize the grant to create another raised garden bed or two. This will allow us to have more produce to give back to the community and will also allow for more space and outdoor teaching time with the classes. We will utilize some of this grant money to create print materials to advertise and market our community efforts by extending the invitation for a community day where we could teach not only the students but neighborhood children about how to grow and maintain a produce garden. Thank you so much for your consideration, this would be such an honor for our school to obtain.
