About the Program:
The goal primary goal is to improve healthy eating habits in our 120 students by engaging them in growing their own food, trying new fruits and vegetables learning about nutrition and how to grow food at home. Additionally, the garden already has provided tremendous opportunities for cross curriculum learning and community involvement. This grant will allow us to install an irrigation system that makes summer maintenance easier and also purchase grow lights to enable classes to start seeds in the spring.
