McKinley Elementary School

The goal of our school garden is to introduce the students as well as some parents and teachers to healthy food choices and the process involved in growing, nurturing, and cultivating healthy foods. We also hope to educate the students about which types of plants may be invasive species which could damage the crops that they are growing and cultivating. This grant will allows us to continue our mission of educating McKinley Elementary School students about the natural world as well as nutrition and healthy food choices. The McKinley Environmental Center is home to many varieties of plants and native wildlife. This grant will help ensure the garden continues to thrive as a healthy learning habitat.
