About the Program: 

The goal of Clark School's garden is to create dynamic and project based learning opportunities for the students. Through these dynamic outdoor and hands-on learning experiences the students will learn about healthy food choices, how vegetables and fruits grow, creating ecosystems for native plants and insects. The grant will allow the school to further develop the vegetable and wildlife garden with additional plantings and raised beds. The grant will also allow us to purchase classroom materials to be used in the garden to augment the students' scientific understanding. We will also be able to provide professional development opportunities for the teachers and staff at Clark Elementary School with money from this grant.
