About the Program: 

Our goal is to build a Kitchen Shed to expand our limited cooking facilities. Our mission is twofold: to instill in our students a sense of responsibility for our planet and to help students create healthy eating habits. To that end we cook in the garden weekly using produce grown by the students. We plan to install solar panels on the roof of the shed for our electrical needs and rain barrels to use for non-potable purposes. We will use the Kitchen Shed for school & community purposes.
