  • "Have You Herb?" (Heard)

    Funded Mar 4, 2022

    Thank You for believing in my vision for the students and this initiative. Students definitely need the exposure and opportunities to see what a bright future lies ahead and is within reach. My students value everything that is sowed into them and are appreciative and thankful as much as I am”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Chef Cheryl D. Williams

  • "Never a Dill Moment!"

    Funded Aug 13, 2021

    Thank You for your generosity in funding our classroom project! The students and I are very excited to start our second gardening season. Due to Covid, a lot of planned projects had to be placed on hold. The students were the driving force on the layout and set up on the garden beds. This time allowed the students to actually get to know each other, and some of my students are now best friends, and they assist on almost all projects.

    The arrival of the items was like Christmas for all of us. From the students reading the DC classroom project, to seeing the "Funded" message, and finally the arrival of the items. Building relationships and helping students learn success skills in my why. Many students do not have the presence of a male figure, so quite naturally they won't be exposed to tools, especially power tools if their mom is not a fix-it Mandy. They learned how to read directions from a kit, even if they aren't the best, to interpreting the symbols if no written directions were provided.

    Currently, we are under construction for a new kitchen space, and guess what? more garden space. When we get the go ahead, we will begin to clean out our current garden space and create a bigger and better space near our new kitchen. This has been an awesome experience to see the students tend to the garden, ensure that there is no trash around the garden area, and the most rewarding aspect is to enjoy the harvest from their plantings.. We truly thank and appreciate each and everyone of our donors on this project!!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Chef Cheryl D. Williams

Students will truly understand the meaning of "reaping what you sow." The use of the raised beds will help my students "think" beyond the ground. By utilizing raised beds, they can envision planting their food in available resources-such as flower pots, barrels, etc. Most all of my students stay in apartments or rented residences, this allows them to take their garden with them. I have created an assignment for students to create a raised garden with items that can be recycled and repurposed. For instance, students will have to create a "herb wall" with only recycled items. My students and their family will rotate taking care of the garden on the weekends and holidays. This empowers the students to have accountability, not only for their harvest but their community. Our harvest will be utilized in our culinary labs, and students will be able to take what they need for their meals at home. Gardening for my students is a mental outlet. Many of my bonding moments with my students were harvested here. Getting our hands dirty gave not only my students a place to clear their mind, but it help open their hearts.
