My Project

Please help support our school's "Choose Love Garden" project. This project aims to cultivate a sense of responsibility, nurture, and care in our students through the experience of growing plants.

Through this project, I hope to instill in our students a sense of responsibility, patience, and appreciation for the natural world.

I also believe that caring for plants can promote social-emotional learning (SEL) by fostering empathy, compassion, and a sense of connection to something greater than themselves.

With your help, I can purchase cameras, printers, pots, soil, and rocks to create a vibrant garden where students can plant, care for, and observe the growth of their plants. The cameras will allow students to document their progress, while the printer will enable them to share their experiences and observations with their families and classmates.

Our students are special because of their unique perspectives, their eagerness to learn, and their desire to make a positive impact on the world around them. Your generosity will provide them with the tools and resources they need to grow both their plants and themselves.
