About the Project

This project supports the transformation of a long-neglected school garden into a dynamic, student-led greening initiative that promotes environmental education, equity, and community engagement. The initiative will include sustainable green spaces across campus, each managed by different grade levels. Students will lead all aspects of the project, from planning and planting to maintenance, while integrating environmental learning into advisory periods and across disciplines. The project fosters collaboration, student voice, and hands-on learning, with strong connections to families and local organizations. Addressing food deserts and promoting environmental justice empowers students to become stewards of their environment and advocates for sustainable change in their communities.
