My Project

Being outdoors is why my students love visiting our school garden. In fact...the whole school loves visiting our school garden. With so many students visiting the garden, tools get "tired". We'd like to get some new tools for our school garden so that not just our class enjoys using them, but the whole school. We'd enjoy your support in getting these shovels, rakes, etc. to help us do our weekly tasks in the garden such as moving dirt and raking leaves. I know my students would be happy to get some new tools. Being outdoors truly helps their mental health.
