My Project

The students in my self-contained autism class are special because of the work they do in our school garden which has been certified by the National Wildlife Association as a wildlife habitat. The students have found refuge in our wildlife habitat during COVID has a serene spot to enjoy their lunch and take "butterfly breaks". Our class sponsors an Earth Day Festival every year for all of the students on our campus. We invite conservation groups, plant native trees, and sponsor arts and crafts stations.

The clay pots will be featured at one of our premier arts and crafts stations at the Earth Day Festival.

Students will paint a clay pot and adopt a plant which our class has grown in our wildlife habitat. Our local Starbucks Coffee is donating coffee grounds which students can add to their pot to help their plant grow.

Your donation helps the students in my class to develop vocational skills in horticulture.
