My Students

Hello. Thank you for previewing my project. I currently live and teach grades K-2 in a remote area of Alaska. Travel to this location is by small plane only, mail is slow to arrive and shopping is limited to one tiny store. Fresh fruits and vegetables are rarely available at our store.

My students are curious, full of energy and love to do hands on activities.

This year we helped elders dig potatoes in their gardens and experimented with growing from seeds in my classroom.

My class has 4 kindergarten, 3 first grade and 6 second grade students. They love hunting, fishing and berry picking... all of which are subsistence activities they participate in with their families to help provide food for the family table. Travel is restricted by boat on the Yukon River, snow machine during the winter and bush plane service to other villages and into the bigger cities.

My Project

Our store and school have extremely limited fresh fruit and vegetable options. In order for food to get here, it travels across Canada by big truck and then via a series of smaller and smaller planes. We have minimal amounts of fresh produce and often it is wrinkled, moldy and extremely expensive.

This project will fund a hydroponic rotating food production system that will provide fresh vegetables for our school and community elder program.

Our system will utilize rapid growing vegetables that can be harvested weekly through this rotating system. It will be managed by my K-2 class but will benefit our entire school and community with nutrient rich, fresh produce.
