Gardens Galore - McDonald School

McDonald School's gardens, Fall 2010

Debbie Bell, second grade teacher at McDonald Elementary School sent us the following update about the school's use of its 2010 Circle grant:

Our school has been proactive in supporting this project this past school year.  The purpose of this project continues to enhance the outdoor classroom at McDonald Elementary. In doing so, we can continue to provide an  integrated teaching style and an alternate learning environment for both faculty and students.

The following is a list of volunteer groups who have made this project a success:

• Backyard Harvest – Amy Grey, Director
• Adventure Club – Moscow School District
• Brad and Kate Jaeckel – McDonald School parents
• Saturday of Service – University of Idaho Volunteer Services
• Make A Difference – University of Idaho Volunteer Services
• Brian Carhart and Karen Trippei – McDonald School Teachers

Wish list for the future:

• Greenhouse - $1,200
• Grow lights for the classrooms - $500
• McDonald School Garden sign - $150
