About the Program: 

The Russell School students will advance their understanding of science, technology, mathematics and healthy choices through the creation and maintenance of a school vegetable garden. We believe that our students will have a better understanding of complex topics and how these topics relate to them directly through this project based learning opportunity. Students will be challenged to research, design and implement a school vegetable garden in an low income urban setting. Students will then use the produce to create healthy snacks and meals.
