About the Program:
Our goal is to turn a 50 x 50 foot area between two wings of our buildings into a thriving and verdant garden center for our school community. We would like to use this garden as a cross curricular launching point for projects including: Life science lessons on plant growth and biology, Mathematics lessons including area, volume and growth rates, and social emotional development by providing a natural and calming environment for students to work and grow. The food will ultimately be given to our students to expand and encourage a healthy lifestyle.
