About the Program: 

We have four primary objectives for our garden: promoting healthy foods and eating habits through the cultivation of fruits and vegetables; fostering volunteerism amongst our students and their families through participation in the garden; providing sustenance to our community through donation of produce to local food banks; and developing environmental responsibility through exposure to local growing challenges such as soil quality and limited natural resources.

We are already hard at work on our garden. The funds provided by this grant will help build raised beds, and provide a water source for the garden
