My Project

As we wrap up our final months for this school year, our class has taken on the challenge of experimenting, implementing, and attempting to produce similar results as we would see in our daily lives. This is currently being conducted through our farm-to-table unit where students are planting seeds to create produce which will then be sold/donated to experience what our local farmers do!

We need your help your help to turn this into a reality!

In order to sustain our garden as well as produce colorful displays for our clients, we are asking for help with these gardening supplies, including tomato cages, flower pots, a hose, and garden stakes! Through your generous donations, we hope to turn our ambitious goals into a learning success!
