Mar Vista Elementary School Los Angeles Unified School District

We have two goals with this proposal: 1) expand the Growing Great (growinggreat.org) curriculum to 4th graders; and 2) enhance the supporting gardens. Growing Great is a non-profit garden and nutrition education organization dedicated to inspiring individuals to adopt healthy lifestyles. The curriculum aims to enhance students' lives by improving their science and ecology literacy. Our school gardens are our students' laboratories in which they explore and test what they learn.
