Edgar Murray Elementary

Our goal is to use our Edible Learning Lab as a tool to promote healthy life choices. With hydroponic towers and a small greenhouse, our planting season will be extended, offering students garden based learning opportunities throughout the entire school year. 

Students will also have the opportunity to build leadership skills using The 7 Habits of Happy Kids:

1) Be Proactive: Build life skills and offer healthy food options to community members through the “Backpack Program.”

2) Begin with the End in Mind: Set goals.

3) Put First Things First: Focus on work before play, and develop environmental awareness and appreciation.

4) Think Win-Win: Master common core standards through garden while making contributions to the community.

5) Seek First to Understand, then to be Understood: Listen to Master Gardeners for advice.

6) Synergize: Work together to maintain successful gardens.

7) Sharpen the Saw: Make healthy food choices and learn a new hobby and/or career.
