John Winthrop Elementary School

Winthrop Elementary School's garden aims to provide students and families with healthy, locally grown produce and experiential learning opportunities. Our garden acts as an outdoor classroom, bridging concepts learned in science, math, english, and more with real-world experiences. The Whole Kids Foundation Garden Grant will help our school develop our partnership with The Food Project, a non-profit organization focused on uniting youth, food, and community. This grant will provide necessary support in funding a new composting system, tools, seeds, soil amendments, season extensions, trellises, and educational materials that can allow our garden to flourish and attract family engagement.
