About the Program:
We will break ground on a new harvest garden this spring providing our students with an opportunity to learn horticulture food production and leadership skills firsthand. Working cooperatively students will explore food from seed to plate growing vegetables eating produce and learning healthy food choices through hands-on interaction. The garden will be a working classroom complementing health PE and science curriculum while also teaching life skills valuable outside the classroom.
