My Project

In a world full of bright lights, loud noises and chaos, help us provide our students with the calm of sensory garden. By providing our students with the tools to bring nature closer to them, they will get to the opportunity to observe, study and be immersed in it.

By choosing to support our sensory garden, you are investing in the well-being of our community's youth.

“Time in nature is not leisure time; it's an essential investment in our chidlren's health (and also, by the way, in our own).”

― Richard Louv, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder

Thank you for choosing us!

Mrs. Brandon
Grades 3-5
