My Project

My students are curious about everything. They love getting outside and away from their desks.

Children thrive being able to work outside and grow things!

Our school has a beautiful courtyard that is only accessible from inside the building. Unfortunately, it has been left to grow wild for years. I would really like to get the students involved in the renovation.

Your donation will allow us to build three garden beds to plant flowers for butterflies and bees, as well as vegetables to share.

I know the students at our school would love to be able to walk by the windows and see their hard work in progress.
