My Students

Many of my students are from low-income families and receive free lunch. Our school is the only high school in our area, and this year One hundred percent of the students will receive free breakfast and lunch for the school year. Sometimes, eating a healthy, well-balanced meal happens only in school for many of them. Being able to grow fruits, vegetables, and herbs for them to take home and share with their families is something we have been wanting to do in class for a long time. We also have livestock to take care of that we use as learning tools in the classroom. Taking the livestock section one step further and harvesting them for food will teach the students even more about self-sustainability.

Sharing the bounty they raise in class with their families will solidify the teachings and experiences they have in class.

They will be able to share with others how they worked and harvested what they grew and raised, then turn around and share with their families what we ate.

My Project

We already have a printer provided for us in the classroom, but it does not work very well for printing labels. We need this color printer so that we can print labels for our egg cartons and other containers we need to label on the farm. I have noticed that the laser printer ink does not stay on the labels when we print them out and they are very messy and smudge a lot.

We sell lots of eggs from our chickens on the farm to help purchase feed for them.

Having a color printer to print out catchy labels on the egg cartons will make our product look that much more professional and eye catching. We also try to label all the storage containers we have in the classroom and doing them in color, will make them more visible to the eye and make our classroom look that much more put together. The students love to do these easy jobs around the classroom and so do I.
