My students are creative, thoughtful and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They consistently come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration!
The emPATHy garden will allow for students to have ownership in our school, and to leave a legacy to future students.
This project will build discipline and integrity in each child involved! The students are excited to share their ideas and make this school beautiful!
My Project
The 6th grade class is planning to build the emPATHy garden, but we need your support. We love LMAAC and love making it beautiful.
We will have three raised garden beds with a student created path made from rocks.
This serene area will provide the students a place to enjoy reading, writing and other school work. It will also provide a place to meditate and find peace.
The students will plant fragrant lavender in the soil. Peas to climb the trellis, and dig holes with their trowel for tomatoes and more! The food harvested will help to support our Culinary Arts program, and teach the students a farm to table approach to healthy eating.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
