Cunningham Elementary School

Our goal is to stimulate the knowledge and love of gardening and to protect the quality of the environment through the education conservation and involvement in civic responsibilities in our students. 95% of our students live in apartment complexes with no room for gardening. Having a school garden is a simple way to educate kids who believe that tomatoes grow from the ground and cannot differentiate between an orange and an apple tree. This has led to higher scores in science assessments.
