About the Program: 

Our mission is to provide an authentic educational environment where students, educators, and our school community learn and immerse themselves in health, wellness, science, and sustainability.

This garden will:
make possible a food production area, a living science and health classroom,
demonstrate the natural process of growth and decomposition of plant matter,
develop in the student a sense of achievement through a child-centered approach where students take ownership of the care and production of the garden.

We will build:
an area that is aesthetically pleasing,
a place where students can learn in a hands-on environment,
a place where students can learn away from their desks,
a place where a students can work as a team.

We recently gained new direction and focus through our administration. Our main goal is to overhaul our current garden as well as enlarge it provide our students with an outdoor classroom.
