Jonesport Elementary School

The Jonesport community believes that a school garden has a tremendously important role in the educational goals of the school. The garden encourages in children a passion for growing food familiarizes them with a possible career increases the likelihood a child will try (and consistently eat) fruits and vegetables and provides a bounty of fresh local food to the cafeteria. The school garden is also a teaching tool that can be used to provide hands-on experiences in all subject areas.
