For the last 5 years, the high school garden has been a place for students to learn and experience how gardening is done. This year, one of the newest staff members, Mrs. Christina Menke, has assigned a project to her Environmental Science class to redo the garden that has been overgrown since the summer.
When Mrs. Menke was asked what type of project she was working on in the garden these last few days, she had this to say, “The Environmental Science class this year is taking on the project of fixing up the garden. Currently, the outdoor space that is located between the hallways of the high school is overgrown and full of weeds. I would like to turn this space into an outdoor science classroom, where we can take some of the things that we learn inside the classroom and apply it to this outdoor space.”
