 Students plant community
garden
On Monday,
May 21st, 20 students from The
Community Schoolhouse embarked on a botanical adventure.
The group traveled to Sunnyside Road in south Salem and planted a
community garden. The students involved in our gardening project are excited
about working in the garden over the summer and eventually donating the proceeds
of the garden to the local food bank. Students
who work in the garden will also be able to use fresh produce from the garden
for their own families.
The teachers at The
Community Schoolhouse plan to use the garden as a starting point to plan
lessons in mathematics, science, health and social studies.
Students will be able to use the garden as a starting point to study
issues such as chemical vs. organic food production, watershed quality, soil
quality, food distribution, nutrition and a variety of other topics.
