About the Project

This project aims to create a greener, more equitable learning environment by integrating school gardens, composting systems, and outdoor classrooms. These enhancements will provide hands-on, real-world learning experiences in environmental science, sustainability, and healthy living. Students will take active roles in designing and maintaining the gardens and compost areas. Outdoor learning spaces will support cross-curricular instruction while improving access to green spaces for students who may not have them at home. The initiative will also strengthen family and community engagement through workshops and partnerships with local organizations focused on environmental justice and sustainability.
