Marinette Middle School

The goal of Marinette Middle School is to incorporate a raised bed vegetable garden on the property that is available to all students (grades 5-8) and staff as well as community members who would like to volunteer. The garden would be available for educational lessons and integration of multiple disciplines during the school year, formation of a gardening club, k-8 summer learning programs held at the middle school, CCS program (Comprehensive Community Services) located on site for students and families year round and a variety of extra curricular clubs. The main focus of the garden would be to give students a opportunity to have hands on learning and work with knowledgeable volunteers to help reinforce that learning. The garden would also be accessible to our wheelchair bound students and include a sensory area for students with autism and cognitive disabilities.
