funding our projects!
During Fall Intersession, through a grant from Weston Solutions and
collaboration with DPW and SYNERGY, we were able to have our outdoor
garden Aquapaved. On October 13, 2012, Weston Solution volunteers
helped with our fourth and fifth grade gardens.
9. Fourth Grade Hawaiian Garden
Fourth grade teachers
The work was labor-intensive!
started to remove and save
the plants at 7:00 a.m.
12. The Hawaiian
Garden
The fourth grade teachers with
assistance from the volunteers
were able to separate the three
parts of the Hawaiian Garden
– Native Hawaiian plants,
Polynesian-introduced plants,
and plants introduced later by
immigrants or other visitors to
Hawaii. Students will be able
to research and learn more
about the importance of these
plants in the lives of the earlier
Hawaiian people and realize
the importance of
sustainability and caring for
our environment.
13. Fifth Grade Hope Garden
Volunteers worked to build a trellis for the Hope Garden. It is hoped that
this will alleviate some of the dust and provide some shade when the
plants grow enough to cover the area.
14. Compost bins
