Eugene Field Elementary School

Our goal is to empower students to become agents of change in their communities. We believe that the experience of working in the garden and the many skills developed including problem-solving future-thinking teamwork hard work etc. are keys to breaking the cycle of poverty that exists in the communities where we work. The Whole Kids Foundation grant will continue to make our presence possible as we cultivate deeper relationships with students and parents and invite them into the garden to work learn and teach.

Eugene Field is one of three Global Gardens sites. At Eugene Field we facilitate the Global Gardens curriculum with every classroom one hour per week. Each classroom has their own garden that is the focus of our time together. We also serve approximatley 40 students during our daily free after school program and summer programs.
