Edgerton Elementary

The garden will provide an educational resource for teachers to expand the diversity of their teaching methods, student excitement for their lessons, and retention of the material. The students will become more knowledgeable about how food is grown, be more likely to eat fresh vegetables and excited by the seasonal changes in the garden. Consequently, student participation as well as health will improve, allowing the children to learn more and bring gardening knowledge and new ideas home to their families. This grant will make it possible for the students and teachers to have more fulfilling educational experiences and involve the community's involvement with the school. With parents and other community members participating in the school garden, they will be more committed to and interested in the school's activities.
