Dwight D Eisenhower Elementary School

The garden at Dwight D Eisenhower Elementary School will provide students with an alternative, hands-on approach to science, health and nutrition education. While the initial building of the garden will take place in late 2012, the funds from your grant will allow the garden to continue to grow for the 2013-2014 school year. The garden will be used by three primary groups. The first group is classroom teachers, including those working with the large population of developmentally handicapped students that attend Eisenhower Elementary School. The vegetable garden will also be a key component of the after school program. Additionally, the garden will be an integral part of the 21st Century Community Learning Curriculum which is an enrichment after-school program started in Fall 2012 through Title I Funding.
