About the Program: 

Our goal is to expand and refurbish our existing 12 year old garden. With the help of many stakeholders, we raised funds and built the garden of our dreams. The garden is an outdoor classroom, and the key to integrating our health and wellness vision. Students grow vegetables that they cook in our classroom kitchen. They bake pizza and bread in the oven. They pick flowers and create bouquets to decorate the school for events. The opportunities for teaching the whole child are endless.

We have willing volunteers, but lack the funds to purchase materials for our next steps
