Washington Elementary

Our garden's goal is provide our third grade students with multiple meaningful opportunities to learn from this hands-on experience. Students will use this garden to: provide food for students in our community who are less fortunate and elderly, allow students to communicate and learn from our local community members, provide for a homeless ministry, and emphasize the importance of healthful eating, plant life-cycles, observing the land and soil, and teaching other students in the building about gardening. I am also hoping the garden will teach students the importance of responsibility and care taking. It will give them intrinsic motivation to become active members of the community in an authentic way.
