About the Program:
Our goal is to have students become engaged in their learning and to have the opportunity to experience it through meaningful and memorable tasks. In doing so taking ownership for the garden and willingly take on the responsibility to maintain their efforts. This grant will help us to re-establish our outdoor classroom and garden area as a focal point of our school community. It will be open to parents and neighbours as a place they can come to visit and share knowledge. The direct ties to various outcomes in our curriculum are numerous and by meeting them through a school garden we will surely inspire students beyond that of traditional methods of teaching.
