My Project

Our school is located at the base of some of the most beautiful mountains you will ever see. Our winters are long and the summers are short. We try to take advantage of as much of the outdoors as we can! This year our school is working towards building an outdoor garden. However, since our winters are so long, it would be so amazing if our kids could start growing their gardens sooner inside!

The goals of this project is to start learning about the growing process.

We live in an area that many of our students don’t always have access to fresh foods and this would be a great way to start sharing and learning about that!

Our students are special in so many ways. They have the ability to learn so much and with a little extra they can learn and do so much more!
