New Horizons School of Higher Achievement

Our goal is to get kids engaged in new learning and have new experiences. Part of these new experiences will be; introducing healthier eating habits, food choices and food sources. We would like this to be a food source for the school and the community and be a point of connection between these two. Lastly we want to incorporate this whole heartedly into our mindfulness curriculum. We incorporate meditation and yoga into our school day and the garden would fit in with both of those exceptionally well. There is much to be said for the mindfulness and natural meditation that arises from working with the land and being a direct player in the food we consume.
Goals for Direct Uses of Food:
• In school breakfast and lunch at least once a week
• Basic cooking instruction as an after school program
• Food to dinner table for students of the school and their families
