My Students
My students are natural leaders who embody all 10 IB attributes. They are hands-on students, and we are teachers who encourage learning through experience. Unfortunately, this school year looks a lot different than the previous, with the pandemic. My students are eager to learn, and they are eager for interactive activities that do not require a computer.
My Project
The idea of a Garden Club came to us after brainstorming ways that students can work on hands-on projects and socialize while also being socially distanced and outdoors! Students are craving some normalcy and I think this is the perfect way to get students involved in a project that will create new hobbies as well as being able to spend quality time with other classmates. We really believe that this Garden Club will improve the mental health of all of our members and will also create lasting memories and friendships! With your help, every dollar you donate will go towards the materials listed under the “where your donation goes” section. Some of these materials include a greenhouse, raised beds, gardening tools, seeds, soil, etc. these are the basics for getting our garden started!
Since we do not yet have any materials, our garden club meetings have consisted of finding a fenced-in location at school for our garden and possibly a greenhouse, planning out the rest of the school year, and recruiting volunteers for the summer.
We have also been learning about hydroponic gardens (we have a mini one that was donated to us!) and learning about the life cycle of plants and vegetables.
Once we have our materials, we will take everything we’ve learned in the classroom into action!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
