Rosa Parks Elementary School

The goal for our Rosa Parks Elementary School garden is to promote environmental education through outdoor learning for youth ages 5-11 years old. Youth develop respect for their garden and the environment through weekly garden classes during the Spring, Summer and/or Fall program sessions. Youth bring science knowledge up to grade-level standards by participating in weekly garden classes during these sessions. Youth also learn teamwork through maintaining these gardens.
This grant from Whole Foods Kids will make possible continued support from a strong network of local businesses, City agencies, other youth serving agencies, and families and friends of the garden. Two thousand dollars will help us continue our community workdays in the garden through out the year as well as provide assistance for monthly salad days at the school.
