Odyssey School

If we are awarded this grant we will be able to bring our vision to life, literally. The Studio Arts
team, along with our community partners, have developed a plan to beautify our school grounds.
We have an above ground plot that needs attention so that we can grow vegetables. Next, we
want to create some containers near the kitchen where we can grow herbs. We
want to create smaller gardens in the front of school with drought tolerant
plants. We want to use what we grow to cook and create in the art and kitchen spaces at
Odyssey. Our science and film/technology classes will use the gardens for hands-on
learning activities. The math classes can use the garden for measurement, graphing, and more. The
social studies and language arts department can use what is growing for activities for research
and written expression. We can open up the schools to our neighbors and tear down the walls,
so to speak, for learning outside amid nature.
