High Pointe Elementary

The main garden goal is that students will gain the experience, education, and health benefits relating to planting, tending, and harvesting plants in raised beds and in ground plots at High Pointe Elementary. The grant will help provide topsoil, mulch, soil amendments, and other supplies needed to prepare four already-constructed raised garden beds, 8' x 3' each, for use in spring planting, 2013. In addition, the grant funding will purchase other supplies to use with the four already-existing in ground plant circles located in close proximity to the raised beds. These are all located between the 2nd/3rd grade wing and the Kindergarten/1st grade wing of the applicant school. This project is a collaborative goal and effort of the community group, The Green Team, staff of the Extended Learning Program, and High Pointe staff. The project will also serve as an inspiration to community members by encouraging them to develop their own personal gardens when space permits.
