My Students
Many of my students are from low-income families and receive free lunch. Our school is the only high school in our area, and this year 100% of the students will receive free breakfast and lunch for the school year. Sometimes, eating a healthy, well-balanced meal happens only in school for many of them. Being able to grow fruits, vegetables, and herbs for them to take home and share with their families is something we have been wanting to do in class for a long time. We also have livestock to take care of that we use as learning tools in the classroom. Taking the livestock section one step further and harvesting them for food will teach the students even more about self-sustainability.
Sharing the bounty they raise in class with their families will solidify the teachings and experiences they have in class.
They will be able to share with others how they worked and harvested what they grew and raised then turn around and share with their families what we ate.
My Project
There are always tools that we need on the farm to keep it looking nice and in good shape. We are in need of more pliers, a shovel and trash bins on the farm. The ones that we have now are either old, broken or missing and getting new ones will make our lives a lot easier. We will use these tools for everything from fixing fences to pulling staples out of the chicken coop.
Having the proper tools on the farm makes work easier and also gives my students lessons to learn in all kinds of situations.
Being able to problem solve and using tools to fix whatever needs fixing, will give my students lessons they will hold on to into their adult years. We all learn together, and it's what makes every day unique and fun!
More than half of students from low‑income households
