My Project

This project will allow students to work with their hands to produce food for the community and help them understand what it means to have work ethic. There is so much in the world that teaches information but really at the end of the day the real learning comes from doing. With these shovels and bow rakes the students will work on the school farm to produce fruit for purchase and to donate to the community. This is just a start to the hard work that will go into this project. Please consider this project.

Mr. Hicks
Grades 9-12
