My Project
My preschoolers are amazing, dynamic people who love coming to school! Their excitement about learning is contagious, which keeps me and my team constantly working to find new ways to engage them!
As we spend the rest of our school year preparing for kindergarten, we would love to plant a “kiddie garden.” This will be a fun way to get outside, play in the dirt, and learn the basics of growing vegetables and herbs.
With your help, we can plant seeds and inspiration that could last a lifetime. The vertical planters are perfect for our urban outdoor space. We will use the child size watering cans to care for our garden daily. Your support is greatly appreciated!
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
