About the Program: 

Our goals for this garden have been and continue to be to supplement fresh produce to the school cafeteria, provide students with a learning environment and make the garden self sustaining. Our garden was established in 2010 with the help of a $4000 grant that we received. We were able to build the 10 raised beds along with installing a fence and purchasing the soil, seeds and plants. Since that time we have enlisted the help of the students to sow, water and plant the seeds necessary for the plants in the garden. We have also benefited from the support and help of the school teachers and staff along with the parent volunteers.

As our garden continues to prosper, the level of participation will also increase. Our hope is to use the grant to purchase a green house that will extend the growing season for the vegetables and lettuce that we use in the cafeteria.
