My Project

I plan to use the requested materials to start the students on learning process that will grow with them. Students will use the materials to grow food and learn about sustainability. With the hope to expose them to Farm-to-table.

The goals for this project are for the students to have an appreciation of agriculture, that they can then intern give to their own communities.

Students can teach what they learn to their neighborhoods, families, and friends.

My students are special because we started our Model UN club from nothing and they continue to build and make it great. They are constantly trying to think and be part of ways to improve communities and environment.
