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
Weeds are everywhere! Especially with all the rain we are getting right now, the weeds are growing into forests. We have garden gloves right now, but since we use them every day, they are starting to crack and get stretched out and beat up. We use them for cleaning in the garden beds and around the farm, in the bushes, and for shoveling stuff that goes in the compost bins.
Gloves are a staple piece of equipment on the farm and we need new ones to use every day to protect our hands from thorns, blisters, and mud.
The trash bins make the easiest weed receptacles because they are strong, have handles, can be moved around conveniently and are easy to dump in the compost or the trash. We use them to put our weeds, brush, cuttings, and even trash. The gloves and the trash cans are the best tools for the garden!
More than half of students from low‑income households
