Farm Fresh Produce in a Windowless Classroom?
Funded Oct 31, 2023My students have really enjoyed the supplies to help our indoor hydroponics Gardyn. When my students first saw the supplies, they wanted to know how we could really grow plants in an inside classroom without windows! I am excited to report that all of our hydroponic plants are growing and thriving. Room 127 smells like fresh Basil, Cilantro and Mint every time a students breaks off a leaf to taste!
My 7th grade students are always asking questions about the plants. They want to know, how can the plants grow so strong without sunlight. They are excited to think about what future food production could look like in outer space, on the moon, or even on Mars!
Our next steps include cleaning the Gardyn machine and planting new plants for the spring. We are thinking of planting edible flowers or even strawberries.
Thank you again for supporting IS 72's hydroponic lab station in room 127.”

Yoga Club
Funded Oct 9, 2014Thank you for supporting our yoga club. Our student lead club is excited to offer yoga mats to all students that want to relax and unwind on Wednesdays. Last week we had several students waiting at the door. There were not enough mats for every student that wanted to participate. With the new yoga mats, all students that would like to join the club will be welcomed with open arms and a clean new yoga mat. I look forward to more students learning to love yoga and develop healthy habits that will last a life time.”
