Minnie Hughes Elementary School

Here at Minnie Hughes, we plan to use our garden for teaching and experimenting purposes. Our students come from a very low income area, and healthy foods and gardens are rare. We would like to use our school garden to meet the needs for some of our Science standards, as well as allowing students to try different foods, and be proud of what they have grown.

We also are in need of getting our parents and community involved in our school. It is our mission to create a garden club within the school, and have volunteers from the community come and help maintain our garden. We feel this project will be a great opportunity for our community members to get involved within the school.
