Sherman Middle School

The mission of the Sherman School Garden is to maintain a beautiful, sustainable garden that engages students to be active participants in the everyday food choices. Students who participate in the garden program learn about the connection between their everyday food choices and the health of the community, the environment, and themselves. These lessons foster sound nutritional practice, responsible food choices, and environmental stewardship.

Our goals in 2013 include the following: developing garden based lessons, constructing a cob arbor, creating a garden documentary, executing a salsa fundraiser, and integrating the garden and cooking program. We have partnered with community members for these projects but we still need financial support in order to complete these projects. As a recipient of a Whole Kids Foundation grant we would receive the assistance necessary to complete these goals and better the Sherman Garden program for students and our community.
