My Project

We have a small school with a small garden that the first graders use to learn about science and the life cycle of plants.

Each year we are able to grow all different kinds of vegetables and flowers, and the students take the fresh produce home and share with their families.

Many students have started growing gardens on their own at home with their families. This little project has brought our small community together. Any support on any of our projects, will help us continue successful learning with excitement in their eyes.
