My Project

This project is a collaboration to benefit our entire school. We have a big dream to have a native based garden to raise and release Monarch butterflies, create an everlasting home and habitat for their long journeys, support pollinators to sustain the environment, and create a space where all students can work, learn, and grow.

We will use this project to build a fully functioning, native inspired garden to raise and release butterflies, create a sustainable habitat for pollinators, and also grow a healthy vegetable garden for our students, families, and community.

We may be a small school but we dream extra BIG! This is a project that will create a lasting impression on our school, community, students, and environment. We look forward to making a difference and taking learning to the next level!

Thank you for your love and support of our kids and environment! We couldn't do this all without you. Making a difference....together.
