Fund-a-Need 2023:

Relocating the Garden

Our school is growing! With a new middle school layout and the addition of a new multipurpose building planned for the future, we will be moving our school garden to the eastern perimeter of campus. In this new space, we will be able to expand the garden, add more fruit trees, and grow our gardening program.

Click HERE to hear from our students and teachers about what makes the garden so special.

We need your help to make this happen! Our goal is $25,000.
