My Project

We are excited this year to add onto our school garden with a dedicated watering system and new fruits and vegetables. Students are learning about medicinal plant possibilities as we learn about the rain forest and other ecosystems.

Teaching farm to table skills in a STEM classroom teaches independence and self-sustainment.

Students will be able to take this knowledge and pass on to friends and families in their communities.

We have worked diligently to provide information on how to be healthy, provide healthy choices, and understand the benefits of knowing where your food comes from.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
