Analy High School Garden |
Jeremiah Chass was a student with wisdom beyond his years. One of his dreams was to implement a school garden that would complete his vision of campus "resplendification" while benefiting the Analy High School community.
In his memory, we are creating a school garden, which will incorporate several different areas: a peace garden surrounded by a visionary pathway where staff and students can reflect in a calm setting, a perennial garden which will bring color and beauty year round, and a sustainable vegetable garden through which Analy staff and students can enjoy the harvest on a monthly basis at no charge.
Goals and Benefits. Our three year vision for this project is to have a multifaceted sustainable garden that will serve and benefit the Analy campus with a variety of realistically obtainable outcomes. These include
- The creation of a healthy, organic salad bar that would be available to our staff and students once a month free of charge.
- The creation of service learning experiences that will be available for both the initial project as well as ongoing sustained learning.
- Cross-curricular classroom enrichment programs that will be pursued by departments as well as individual classes.
- Coordination with the Empty Bowls project. When our garden reaches the stage of production, we will fill the empty bowls with the fruits of our labor.
