Frostwood Elementary

The Goal of the Frostwood Elementary Vegetable Garden/Outdoor Learning Classroom is to provide staff and students (Kindergarten to 5th Grade) with the opportunity for hands-on learning in the garden that complements learning in subject areas such as Math, Science, Health and Nutrition, Art, Social Studies, etc. through enhanced curriculum experiences. Experiential learning in a garden and outdoor classroom will enhance student academic performance, while teaching life-long lessons about the importance of nutrition and health. Students will be given real life experiences to help promote health and wellness of the Frostwood community. This project will stimulate creative minds, critical thinkers, collaborators, and communicators. The Frostwood Vegetable Garden/Outdoor Learning Classroom would serve both as a model and a resource for other SBISD campuses, including Housman Elementary, our sister school. This grant proposal is seeking funding for plants, seeds, mulch and compost; as well as supplies, including funding for supplies/tools to provide an educational module on bugs and their importance in the garden.
