About the Program:
In the fall of 2013, Liberty Elementary School is introducing their new program, The Center for Agriscience Education. The school is dedicated to providing quality education to all students in the diverse community. The program’s integration will increase critical thinking and hands on experiences for all K-8 students focusing on Agriculture and Science. This innovative school will include a community garden with dedicated space for each grade level. Each grade level will be responsible for a 6 by 24 square foot raised bed. The produce will eventually be used in the cafeteria and provide a student run farmers market.
