My Project

My school wants to plant a school garden! We are so excited about this idea and project and are eager to see it succeed.

Our school is located on a Native American Reservation and many of our students and their families live in secluded, rural areas.

We are eager to provide a community garden located right on the school grounds that will meet the needs of many of our families by providing fresh produce, a source of recreation, and promoting a greater sense of community.

We will be including our students in the planning, creating, and sustaining of this garden, every step of the way. Not only will this garden serve the community by providing fresh food, but it will also be a way to implement many STEAM lessons centered on sustainability and caring for the environment. This is a big project that will be paying off rewards now and in the future.
