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

Students in my classes participate in a program called Eco-School, where they identify areas where our school lacks in sustainable practice. This year, my students have identified our school as part of what is known as a food desert - in other words, access to fresh and affordable produce is limited for people in these areas. To combat this sustainability issue, my students are creating different gardening initiatives at the school. One such is our classroom garden. The garden in my classroom helps my environmental science and chemistry students explore real-world applications of their learning. Furthermore, my students were recently selected to participate in a NASA sponsored "Plant Mars" challenge where they plant crops in simulated Mars conditions. The items in this project were selected to support the goals of the program and simulate the materials that could potentially be used when growing plants on Mars.

These seeds, grow bags, and supplies I am requesting are a means by which to create a safer and healthier learning environment for my kids.

We are requesting different grow bags that will allow students to grow fresh produce year round that we can use in our classroom. At the end, we will use the items in a class farm to table initiative. The nutrients and soils will be applied to our plants regularly to keep them growing and healthy. The mental health and social emotional learning skills of the students will benefit from being able to participate in a class gardening program. Students will work with scientists in an extraordinary program! Thank you for supporting our classroom community garden.
