My Students

The students at my school come from all different types of backgrounds and socioeconomic statuses. We are very fortunate here to have a real mix of cultures represented in our school, which ensures that the school is a vibrant, ever-changing community. Our students also live in a community particularly hard-hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our school has not been able to remain open for more than a few days at a time this school year, and most students haven't been back to the building since last March. The students are motivated, talented, and most of all-they love our school garden! During a normal school year, the students help with all aspects of the garden planting seeds, harvesting vegetables, working with our compost, and even feeding our chickens.

My Project

At P.S. 216, the Edible Schoolyard NYC program includes in-person and remote cooking classes for our students. Because of our transition to remote learning in the last year, we send home-cooking kits home with students. This often involves bulk ordering ingredients, and then storing them until the various students and families involved in each specific cooking activity are able to come pick up their ingredients and cooking it.

Because we have such an an increased need for food storage, the Edible Schoolyard NYC has worked to be able to store things better, in a safer way, for longerm and vacuum sealing certain ingredients will make them stay fresher, while also be easier to distribute to families without the risk of improper storage at home.
