¡Ayuda a Llevar Más Aprendizaje Práctico de Jardinería a North Georgetown Elementary!
Apoya la educación ambiental y ayuda a los estudiantes a crecer.

En North Georgetown Elementary, los estudiantes ensucian sus manos en el Jardín SNAC (School Nutrition Agri-Culture), donde aprenden sobre la ciencia, la naturaleza y la alimentación saludable a través de experiencias prácticas. Nuestro jardín es un aula al aire libre que conecta a los niños con el origen de sus alimentos, les enseña sobre los ciclos de las plantas e inspira un amor por la naturaleza.
Estamos recaudando $500 para ampliar y mejorar la experiencia en el jardín para nuestros estudiantes.

¿Por qué es importante?
Cada semana, los estudiantes de North Georgetown Elementary salen del aula tradicional y entran en el jardín para:
Explorar la magia de cultivar sus propios alimentos
Aprender sobre la salud del suelo, el compostaje y los ciclos de las plantas
Descubrir la importancia de las frutas y verduras frescas
Participar en lecciones prácticas de STEM en la naturaleza
Para muchos estudiantes, el Jardín SNAC es un lugar donde pueden explorar, cultivar y probar alimentos frescos de primera mano—y tu apoyo ayudará a enriquecer estas experiencias para cada niño en el programa.

Nuestra Meta: $500

Tu donación ayudará a proporcionar materiales esenciales y experiencias de aprendizaje práctico, incluyendo:
$5 – Compra semillas y tierra para que los estudiantes planten y cuiden
$10 – Proporciona herramientas para que los niños exploren y aprendan en el jardín
$20 – Financia una lección completa en el jardín con un educador especializado
$50+ – Ayuda a mantener y expandir el jardín para futuras generaciones de estudiantes

¿Cómo Puedes Ayudar?

We’re raising $500 to expand and enhance the garden experience for our students!

Why This Matters

Each week, students at North Georgetown Elementary step outside the traditional classroom and into the garden to:
  • Explore the magic of growing their own food

For many students, the SNAC Garden is a place where they can explore, grow, and taste fresh food firsthand—and your support will help enrich these experiences for every child in the program!

Your donation will help provide essential supplies and hands-on learning experiences, including:
$5 – Buys seeds and soil for students to plant and nurture
$10 – Provides tools for kids to explore and learn in the garden
$20 – Supports a full class lesson with a garden educator
$50+ – Helps maintain and expand the garden for future students

About SNAC Garden Foundation

The SNAC (School Nutrition Agri-Culture) Garden Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming schoolyards into vibrant outdoor classrooms where students of all backgrounds can engage in hands-on environmental STEM education, health education, and ecological stewardship.

Through weekly garden-based lessons, we provide over 2,500 students at Longneck Elementary, North Georgetown Elementary,  Georgetown Middle School, and Howard T. Ennis with meaningful opportunities to connect with nature, grow their own food, and develop lifelong healthy habits. Our trained garden educators lead lessons on topics such as soil health, plant life cycles, sustainable agriculture, and nutrition—ensuring every child has access to outdoor learning experiences.

By integrating gardening with science, history, and mindfulness, we empower students to become environmental stewards and cultivate a deeper connection to their communities.
