My Students

I teach at an elementary school in a rural district. The community my school serves has a high rate of generational poverty. Because of this, a many of the students we serve have experienced trauma and come to us with tremendous needs in all areas of life. Providing them with a sense of safety, consistency, a great deal of understanding and compassion, as well as rich learning experiences is absolutely necessary for their success.

As a school counselor, I work directly with students who present with unique behavioral, emotional, and learning needs; many as a result of trauma and adverse childhood experiences.

Many of my students are on free and reduced lunch and participate in the backpack program, which provides meals for the weekend. Giving my students a community school garden would give them and their families free access to fresh fruits and vegetables.

Research also shows that gardening is a trauma-informed practice which can help relieve stress and regain a sense of homeostasis when feelings of de-regulation occur.

My students are incredibly grateful and eager to learn. They love new experiences and thrive in an academically rich, trauma informed learning environment.

My Project

Our students need a community garden!

Planning, building, and and tending to our community garden will allow our students to engage in hands-on learning opportunities to explore environmental and life science standards.

Our students will gain a better understanding of earth science and life science standards taught in the classroom.

Students will be able to make observations, predictions, collect data and test hypotheses while working in the garden.

Our students will also benefit greatly from an SEL standpoint. Our students participate in weekly SEL lessons which encourage team-work and being service minded.
