Ferry Pass Elementary School

Our goal is to teach positive nutrition habits through our school garden program. Numerous studies have shown that school garden programs can improve students' attitudes towards fruits and vegetables. The students will learn responsibility, leadership, team building, life science, problem solving skills, math skills, pride, confidence and self esteem.

Our school started a Teaching Garden with the American Heart Association program in October 2012. The program has been so successful that we want to expand the garden to include 4 more raised beds. The students are responsible for planting, maintaining and harvesting the garden plants. The additional beds will allow us to create an herb garden and add a greater variety of fruits and vegetables.
