IT'S GROWING AT ASPIRATION ACADEMY

February 14, 2023 View as Webpage

The list of partner organizations joining our revolutionary coaching and teaching program is growing. Look for details in upcoming mailers.

Hats off to our partner Master Gardeners, Linda Paige and Carol Campion who have been trained by the University of Florida's Sally Scalera.

Agent & Master Gardener Coordinator

"I am thrilled that Linda and Carol are teaching the children at Aspiration Academy how to garden. I love it when people grow their own food and the gift of teaching the kids how to germinate seeds and grow their own plants will be a skill they can use throughout their lifetime!"

Our partnership with the University of Florida and its Master Gardeners is blossoming with knowledge and our young scholars are enjoying this learning experience.

"I initially thought that children might be bored listening to someone talk about plants and gardening – I was wrong. These extremely bright kids were very responsive to our discussions and eager to share any personal experience they had with plants. They especially enjoyed interactive and hands-on activities. These children are a joy to work with – very eager to participate, and as a bonus, are very well behaved. I think that Aspiration Academy is a terrific project that will enrich the lives of these children in so many areas."

"In my opinion SUCCESS, at Aspiration Academy, at University Park Elementary School, and higher levels of education is a simple willingness to learn. Our young scholars, some above grade level and some not but who have a passion for reading and education, are examples of SUCCESS. Aspiration Academy, at no cost to Brevard Public Schools or the Brevard taxpayer, is cultivating our young scholars' curiosity so that they feel the thrill of finding something out."

Sincerely,

Bob Barnes
