Our Vision
As a third grade class, we have decided to make a huge IMPACT on our school by redoing the garden. Next week, we will begin Step 1, which is cleaning out what is there and overgrown. The kids have spent the week brainstorming plans, drawing maps, asking questions and researching answers about how to grow fruits and vegetables in Indiana. We plan on creating a timeline of steps for the entire year so that we can track the progress of our vision. After Fall Break, we will begin work on the fund raising that we will need to do, in order to put our plan into action. The kids, and teachers, are very EXCITED and INSPIRED!
