Vision: Develop a self-supporting, district-wide, K-12 school garden program. Goal: Involve students, teachers, parents, and community members in the stewardship of Estacada School District learning gardens. Objectives: Support and reinforce the District's efforts to purchase fresh, local produce by working with the District Food and Nutrition Services to help identify and/or grow local, sustainably-produced foods for the District's meal programs.Expand outdoor learning opportunities where students participate in garden-based activities that are interwoven within grade-appropriate math, science, social studies, and arts curricula. Educate people about interconnected relationships of food, environment, ecology, community, and cultural histories. Decrease the risk of food insecurity in our community and improve nutrition through fun, hands-on learning activities. |
