About the Program: 

Our goal is to create an outdoor classroomthat will function as an extension of our indoor classrooms. We believe that the Growing Classroom will provide a natural and engaging setting for students to apply the concepts they learn in the classroom. We also believe that this garden will be a source of pride for the school and allow our students and families to contribute to the success of the garden. Lastly, we are trying to promote healthy living in our low income households were variety and good nutrition are often missing.
