Help us expand our garden program to include cooking and tasting experiences for our middle school students. Our students will grow produce in our campus vegetable gardens that will be used to cook culturally diverse dishes. The kitchen cooking tools will enhance science, math and reading concepts as students follow directions, and practice precise measuring through cooking activities. Cooking with produce grown in our school garden will also promote a positive connection to foods and develop cooking skills that they can use for the rest of their lives. Gardening and Cooking provides practical experience with many essential life skills. Forming a positive experience with fresh foods is important because healthy foods are the foundation for good nutrition.
