My Project

I teach first grade students at a Title I school in Florida, where one hundred percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn about gardening and do their best at school.

Beautification Day is when everyone at school takes pride in making the school BEAUTIFUL!

I am requesting tools for gardening; soil and a watering can. Many of the students have never been given the opportunity to get their hands dirty and plant plants and flowers. Please help me give them this opportunity and help make our school beautiful again. (This is part two a multi-part project.)
