This year our school was the recipient of a grant that created a school garden for our students to maintain. We received three planter boxes and the students have grown carrots, cabbages, radishes, tomatoes, and squash. We will be adding flowerbeds over the summer. Our students have loved learning how to be gardeners! They help plant, water, and harvest the vegetables. The students have learned about healthy eating and have also learned the "science" behind a garden and what plants need to grow. The picnic tables and sun shades will allow for our school garden to become a true learning environment or "living classroom". Teachers will be able to hold class outside. The students will have space to sit and write and the sun shades will allow them to stay cool. This will give students more ownership of the garden. They will learn to take pride in their school and environment by keeping their "living classroom" maintained and clean. These are lifelong skills that will help our students become better citizens in their community.
