Crossway Community Montessori School

The goal of the garden grant would be to invest in three Cold Frame Greenhouses, seeds and potting soil for them. These greenhouses would enable the school to grow vegetables such as lettuce and spinach during the winter months. The garden part of the curriculum would then be active all four seasons and would complement the three existing outside gardens. The produce from the greenhouses would be utilized in all cooking for the classes, and the 100 students in the school could observe, maintain, and cook with the produce from the greenhouses. In addition, the grant would allow Crossway Community Montessori School to invest in durable wheelbarrows for the children to use year round.
