My Project

My students love the outdoors and to work together for a worthwhile goal. Helping to create a more beautiful space to learn and grow will improve the daily experience for everyone in our school and town's community. The children can help to cultivate and plant the environmentally appropriate plants, expanding their science knowledge. Spending more time outside, in a beautiful garden, will help everyone, for years to come, at our Middle School to destress, work together, cultivate a new hobby and grow into tomorrow's great citizens. Pollinators will also benefit!
