My Project

We are proud to be an environmental school. A lot of our school projects focus on sustainability, with two of our big projects being our outdoor garden and our hydroponics systems. Our goals with these are for kids to see that there are many methods to create sustainable sources and that you are never too young to start.

By having both types of gardens, we are able to give kids hands-on experiences growing their own produce year round.

The supplies in this donors choose will help our indoor systems by keeping them fully stocked, and some of the supplies will be used to continue to care for our outdoor garden. All of the supplies will be used to continue to raise student awareness about how we can become more sustainable.
