Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Getting local, fresh and organic food is near impossible in many parts of lower income LA. Student at ECHS want to share with the community how to grow their own fresh fruits and veggies, right here in Lawndale, CA. Students will lead water saving workshops and earthday events for the community.

My students are Green Ambassadors.

Our class (Green Ambassadors) empowers students to become agents of change in their local communities. We learn about composting, water, food, and energy and share solutions with the community at community events. This class is at the Environmental Charter High School in Lawndale, CA. It is a public charter and well over 60% of the students receive free and reduced lunch.

My Project

We need organic vegetable and fruit seeds and demo kits as well as materials to calculate garden size, quantity, seed price, water quantity, etc. My students want to make a difference in our community. Food is one of the great ways to do this. We have space to grow much more food than we currently do. However, we need supplies to do this effectively and to document our efforts. Please help my students share the gift of fresh, local food.

When students leave high school they will look back and remember the big events and the work that felt important.

This is one such project. Students have a chance to learn about growing and eating healthy food and share this skill with others in the community. Literally this project will sprout from seed to bountiful gardens with your help. This is just a first step as we grow the garden, students and our community. Thanks for your help!!
