Bell Elementary/Tulsa Public Schools

Our goal is more involvement with our parents and community members in making a garden to benefit our families and partners. We are on a path of becoming a Community School in our district. We want to engage our volunteers, partners, and retired community members in a project to not only beautify our school, but make it a major focal point. The garden would be an active learning center for our mainstream students as well as our students with disabilities. We would involve stakeholders and parents in creating an environment for learning and using science hands-on. Working together is a lifeskill that children need to experience on a daily basis. We want our participants to enjoy the fruits of their hard labor while gaining a work ethic and enjoying the outdoors. We want them to see when the whole community works together what we are able to accomplish. The goal of our garden is to enhance our students' lives while providing a life long memory to treasure.
