Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

With the gardening tools I am asking to be donated it will help students learn about the importance of knowing where food comes from. A school garden creates hands-on learning opportunities for students that aren’t typically found in a classroom. Classes where students are able to plan, plant, and care for a green space have been proven to benefit not only the youth but also their community in a variety of ways.

The goal of the project is to impact children’s food choices by improving their preferences for vegetables and increasing their nutrition knowledge.

Students do not always choose the best snacks or food once they leave school.

Grades 3-5
