Goals
The goal of the Lapel Elementary Garden Club is to establish a
network of teachers, students, parents, and other community specialists
to create an educational and fun environment for all of us to learn.
Students will participate
in all aspects of sustainable gardening from planning and
planting to harvesting and eating
The garden is a place where
students can learn about good food choices, build a
love of nature, have social experiences with their peers and teachers, and develop an
awareness of local ecology and the environment
Teachers can integrate
gardening into subjects such as math, science, social studies,
reading, writing, and art
When
the garden produces enough
produce, it will be used in the school
cafeteria
