Used primarily by Life Skills students, Youth & Family Link’s after school program, and Sarah Wirtz’s science class, the Cascade Middle School Garden will soon be looking to expand.
Also in the works: Increased partnership and mentoring with neighboring Columbia Heights Elementary, which has a larger, more established garden.
Contact Sarah Wirtz if you like to help or have any questions.
“Help Grow Our School Garden” is our current motto!
The Rose Valley School Garden is currently in its preparation phase with plans to plant in the spring of 2013. Macy Grafton, a 3rd grader at the school, is organizing the project with the help of fellow students Addie Schierscher, Gracie Gann, parents & teachers, principal Dr. Mark Connolly, and Ian Thompson from LCSG. The garden will offer an outdoor classroom where students can develop a love for gardening while learning hands-on science, math and nutrition.
