Community Garden

Please help me give my students the community garden of their dreams! Our Title 1 school also offers a culinary program that utilizes herbs and veggies grown in our garden, allowing us to incorporate our produce into the program.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Boyce-el's classroom raised $1,005

My Project

This project will promote community in and outside of the school building. Our school also offers a culinary program. We will be using the produce grown in the garden towards our culinary program. The produce that is left over will be given out to our community. In underserved communities, it is essential to provide children and families with the opportunity to access healthy, wholesome, and affordable food. This has been a school-wide goal for several years now, and the community's assistance is needed to make it happen. WE THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
