Help me give my students a sustainable garden at our middle school that will enhance our educational curriculum, promote environmental stewardship, and foster a sense of community among students, staff and families.
Our project goal is to establish a sustainable garden at our middle school that will enhance our educational curriculum, promote environmental stewardship, and foster a sense of community among students, staff and families.
The garden will serve as a living laboratory for our students to learn about plant biology, ecology, and sustainability practices.
It will support hands-on learning experiences that align with science and health curricula.
The garden will support our sustainability efforts and serve as a focal point for Climate Action Day, where students engage in planting and composting, raising awareness and inspiring future projects. For this project, we are requesting soil, soil meters, watering cans, tools, seed, gloves, and other resources.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
