Our students are growing more than just plants—they’re growing a healthier community!

Huge shout out to Ms. Emma Fredenburg for leading our Health Disparities students in the garden yesterday. By planting these potatoes, they’re learning firsthand how community gardens bridge the gap to fresh, affordable food.

Shout out to Home Beneath Our Feet for their support in keeping our community grounded and growing.
