About the Program: 

We would like to start an organic vegetable garden at our school, Poe Elementary, this fall. Second Graders would be planting, tending and harvesting it.We want to start it in the fall to help build a sense of community , an awareness of health issues, and a sense of individual responsibility in our students.  We also plan on using this as a classroom, incorporating lessons from all content areas. 

I hope your organization can help guide us in our endeavor.

 

Sincerely,

Shawn Gray,

2nd Grade teacher
