Hampton Elementary School

The goal intended for the Hampton Elementary School Garden Project is that we work to develop a strong educational component aimed at increasing the children's understanding and acceptance of growing, maintaining and working in a garden and enjoying the fruits or "vegetables" of their labor by incorporating their hard work in the school lunch. We will have a committment to nutritional education and healthful foods that model positive choices to reflect their work and devotion in the school garden. Our community is a small, rural town in the quiet corner of CT. By having a vegetable garden here at the elementary school we can create a more positive and uplifting contribution to our small and intimate community. These students are a great bunch of eager and willing learners. They are an asset to our community and nothing would make them prouder than to show off their own school garden to their friends, family and neighbors here. This grant would get us started to make that possible.
