The students started a plant project to promote healthy eating. They planted various seeds like radish, rosemary, and sage in pots. At first the plants were kept in the library but were moved outside by the gate for more sunlight. The students water the plants 3 times a week. They hope to expand the garden to raise awareness about healthy food options at fast food restaurants.

2. Who
This plant project was done by
Keahi Costa and Striesand
Galdones (Peter Rygh was also
included)
Keahi was assigned to bring
soil, but than Ms. Sumida brought
it in. So than through the weeks
he put soil in the pots and
watered it.
Striesand was assigned to bring
the seeds and pots. She started
the radish in her home over the
weekend and brought it in school
on Monday. Than when the dirt
came we transplanted it into a
smaller pot. There were rocks so
than she put a little of rocks into
the pots. Than watered it.

3. What
 We worked on a variety of
different plants. Plants like
radish, rosemary, sage and
more.
 Each plant had 8 pots or
row with the same seed
than the next 8 would have
a different seed. The radish
was on different pots.
 We transplanted them to
different ones so that there
will be more and maybe
give it away to people in
small pots.

4.  This project was
done in the library
and outdoors.
 Since there wasn’t
that much sunlight
in the library we
moved it near the
gate where there Where
is more sunlight
and it doesn’t
have air condition.
 It is now by the
gate and each
morning or 3 times
a week we water
it with the
watering can.

5. When
 We started this project towards the
end of the first quarter.
 We started with a letter writing to
Michelle Obama than after that we
had groups to brainstorm ideas to
get her attention to stop the fat
foods in fast food restaurants. To
promote healthy foods on the
menu.
 With all our ideas we combined it
and started a indoor garden in our
school.
 After that we hope that it will get
bigger so that we can make a
bigger garden some where else
and get others in it.

6. Why
 We did this project to promote healthy foods on
the menus in fast food restaurants.
 There has been problems of people not getting
that much nutrients and healthy foods on menus so
than we started this garden.
 With the garden we are hoping to make it bigger
and tell others about it too. Maybe one day we
can show the fast food restaurants about these
healthy foods and maybe they will promote it on
their menus for a more healthy start.

7.  Well we started this project with little
baby steps first. Than took big kid
steps.
 We all had an assigned task to bring
all the materials in. How
 With the materials we all gathered
we made a small garden in our
school.
 In the 5th period we planted all the
plants and transplanted some into
smaller pots. That class we mostly
concentrated on the plants.
 Since then we started to water the
plants by day and watch how it
grew.
 This all wouldn’t have happened if
we didn’t get the help from Ms.
Sumida our PE/Health teacher. She
is the one who encouraged us to do
this and even gave up her own
money to buy us soil, seeds, and
pots. Thank You!
