Original Grant Overview
Goal
Promote leadership roles while working in a garden. Involve students in undertaking life long experiences by working in gardens. Allow students the opportunity to work in a hands on environment and see the "fruits of their labor!"
What will be done with my students
There are 3 previously established garden beds. There is a vegetable garden, butterfly garden and a desert themed garden. Students will chose a garden and commit to working in the garden throughout the year. Students will also use the gardens to teach their 1st grade buddy class about the Life Cycle of a Butterfly, understand the growing process of vegetables, and educate other students on plant life in a desert environment.
Benefits to my students
Leadership, commitment, self esteem and hands on learning in a nature environment.
Budget Narrative
Gardens were started last year, these funds will enable the 2022-23 students to be able to maintain the gardens.
