Lambert Public School

The goal of our program is to seek student involvement while building toward a much larger goal being a student operated farm where not only produce but livestock would be raised. The immediate goal of this initial project is to use the context of a garden to instill a sense of ownership, responsibility, work ethic and community into all students involved. The planting and harvesting of crops and produce is an added benefit to this program. To input energy into a project in order to enrich another or a group and wanting no reward other than the satisfaction of helping toward a common goal is an attitude that is missing in a lot of our youth today and is what our goal is. The monies from this grant would allow us to quicken the process and diminish the need for time consuming fundraisers that seem to be more of a burden on the community than a benefit. The grant would be used for the purchase of tools and plants for the garden to get the project started.
