Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Ever get excited to eat what you have grown yourself?

My students get super excited to eat what they grow.

As a STEAM programming school, we strive to provide opportunities for our students to engage in hands-on learning, these gardens and supplies are a perfect opportunity for students to get hands-on learning while caring for the garden. We will have a lunch party when the items are fully ripe. Then we will send home samples of the fruits and vegetables so parents can see what their child is doing in school and hopefully inspire gardening at home.
