Pathfinder K-8

Our garden exists to serve as an outdoor classroom that supports and extends curriculum in the school, builds school community, and encourages awareness around growing and eating nutritious food.

This grant will provide necessary funding to ensure long-term water access to our garden by covering the remaining costs of a sustainable rain water catchment system. The school district dislikes the garden using water from the school building spigot. Thus far, we have been allowed to use it, but at any point the district may forbid it. This is the only real risk to our garden's sustainability, and we are addressing it by planning a rainwater collection system.

For the last 2 years, the garden team has been working with Earth Systems NW, a local water catchment company, and the school district to get the system together. All preparations are in place and with this grant the installation would be ready to move forward immediately.
