Lafayette Elementary
Lafayette is an urban school. Every bit of green provides relief to the asphalt and an opportunity to experience gardening opportunities that are otherwise unavailable to many of these kids.
This is an ideal time to revitalize the garden because the school has finally been able to add locking fences to the area which was previously vulnerable to vandalism. The school is on a main street and the garden area has long been unsecured, making it difficult to invest our already stretched time and resources into an unlocked area.
We are ready to unite our willing teachers, students, parents, and community. Having the support of the Whole Kids Foundation would add credibility, notoriety and funding. Your support would give us a strong and legitimate start in our project and help us attract and keep support for our project.
We will expand the established kindergarten science curriculum into our new outdoor garden and incorporate the cultivation of organic food crops.
