Our students are fantastic kids with so much potential to change their community. They have the biggest hearts and love to give back through projects within the school.
Every day I'm amazed and delighted to see and experience the amazing educational and social-emotional journey they have embarked on.
Our students strive to be respectful, responsible, and ready to learn. They are moved by helping others and improving the school community and making a positive impact.
My Project
Our students love gardening and it helps support their social-emotional mental health and academic progress. We have 7 raised garden beds that students and staff maintain. The beds presently have a few vegetables, herbs, and flowers. We have many areas around our wonderful courtyard, playground, and school building that have enormous garden potential to help educate and therapeutically support our wonderful students and staff. We utilize our gardens to support our students with learning how to manage their emotions and learning healthy coping skills that will help provide valuable tools for life.
Our garden and the action of caring for our garden supports our students' social-emotional needs which helps support their academic progress and brings joy to their day.
Gardening is an effective way to help combat behavioral issues and to improve the self-esteem of children. The simple act of watering the flowers or turning over the soil immediately calms our students when they are struggling to work through big emotions. Gardening improves the physical fitness, health, mood, and cognition of all our students and staff at Harbor View Elementary. Your support in our project will help us continue to care for our garden and our Harbor View Family.
