Carl Schurz Elementary

We have recently established our Healthy Lifestyles Committee at Carl Schurz Elementary. It is our goal to show our kids a what it means to live a healthy life. Our garden plays an important role in accomplishing this goal. Nearly 18 classes (approximately 20 students per class) receive training from local Master Gardeners once a month. They are working towards a certification "Growing a Vegetable Garden Specialist." The garden provides an outdoor learning environment and a place to foster a love for nutritional heath, science and math.
With this grant we would like to install a rainwater catchment system along with purchasing better hoses, watering cans and related supplies.
