Start The Year In The Garden

Help me give my students active and engaging outdoor projects in the school garden.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Stefanie's classroom raised $474

This project is fully funded

My Project

These students love to learn outdoors.

In the school garden the kids help water and tend.

Our watering cans are rusted and leak, please help us with new cans.

The children also take care of the school chickens and love to hand-feed them as we learn about life cycle and caring for animals. Your help with purchasing chicken food and supplies will be a super addition to their experience.

With the clay we will invent our own insect body parts and use nature pieces for the legs and antennae etc.

And, trowels. We need trowels to dig in the dirt and plan!

Lastly, inspiring books!!!!!!
