Community Gardens!

Talking the talk and walking the walk; The after school program teachers are leading their students in planning and creating community gardens in their schools. Students are receiving donations of plants and seeds from their families and the community and the results have been incredible! In Higuera Blanca Maestro Martin and his students have cleared a huge space, turned the soil and are planting maiz, rabanos and pepino. Maestros Miguel and Herendida have gotten the community in Emiliano Zapata involved in creating their community garden. Students are constructing beds and the director of the primaria can often be spotted working with the after school program staff and students in their school garden. Maestros Rosario and Pepe along with their students have been busy planting trees and constructing gardens beds in the school in Corral de Risco. Kinder Maestras Lucy and Rosy and their students have planted pepino, frijoles and rabanos! A special thanks to Steve for teaching gardening to the kinder students in Emiliano Zapata and for donating quality soil and seeds. Thank you to the amazing after school program teachers who are making a difference in the lives of local children and teaching through hands-on activities!
