About the Program: 

The goals include beautifying a blank landscape with garden boxes, providing fresh produce for the students to taste, the enrichment of the educational experience by supplying a hands-on, project-based learning environment, to include the surrounding community by scheduling speakers and input from area businesses, involving our cafeteria/food staff for additional nutritional data, and planting perennials that will provide years of sustainable garden plants. This garden will unite our community and school with a common goal and create an atmosphere of communication and trust between all members. All of the above goals are certainly attainable with the grant monies provided by the Whole Kids Foundation.
