My Project

We want to have a special garden for our chickens, as well as, to sell herb sachets to people. We will be researching herbs and plants to will make our chicken yard more enjoyable for our chickens, as well as, our students to be able to use as an outdoor classroom.

Being a STEAM certified school, means that each project must be researched and given proper attention to details within an EDP process.

We want our students to make a garden of safe herbs to feed our chickens as well as to dry out to add to the chickens nesting boxes to assist with better egg production and happier chickens.

We want this area to be calm and serene outdoor classroom where students and chickens can enjoy each others company.
