Lake Mead Christian Academy
The goal of planting and maintaining an on-site garden is two-fold. The first being, the school would like to take active steps in taking better care of our students, who essentially are our future leaders. Not only would we use the produce for the school cafeteria but to also donate fresh food to local resource centers who have partnered with us.
The second part of the goal is to intentionally educate our students about nutrition, health, and how to recognize the ripple effect of nutritional habits for future generations. We really want to show students how they can take ownership of their own nutritional habits. Even at a young age, a child is able to make healthy choices.
This garden will give over 650 students access to learn, not only how to garden, but also the positive effects it will have on them and those around them.
