Summit Academy Akron Elementary

The main goal of the student garden is to provide the students with healthy food choices that are not available to them due to 100% of the school student population qualifying for the free lunch program. This grant would guarantee that the students will have healthy food to eat during the summer when they are at home as well as into the fall. All students in the K-6 building will have the opportunity to learn about healthy eating habits as well as learning about how to care for and grow a garden. Since this is an inner city school, the students will be exposed to learning about plant growth as well as learning how to care for the plants which will be used to supplement their food supply at school as well as at home.
