About the Program: 

Due to economic challenges and lack of community support, our school garden hasn't been used for the last two years and needs revitalizing. In October of this year we had 30 parents and community voluteers who helped us to clean up our garden site. The garden grant will help purchase tools, lumber and plants to revitalize and redo large garden beds for better students acces; fix the fence,update existing ponds by fixing the solar pump and rain barrel system. With a student population that is 60% free and reduced lunches, we hope to use the produce from our garden program to improve the nutrition of our students both in the cafeteria of our school and at home for our families in need.
