About the Program:
We plan to use the garden as a learning tool for our students as well as provide them with hands on experiences. We have vertical teams of science teachers planning and implementing science and math related outdoor activities. Our PTA also hosts an Earth Day celebration where the community is invited to participate in the planting and development of the garden. The presence of the community is also felt during the summer months as they tend to the garden while school is out.
