Located in the Michoud area of New Orleans, the gardens will feature Louisiana iris plants to make Einstein Charter School Extension feel like home. The garden will also feature a reading area so that literacy growth can take place. Fruits and vegetables will be grown in the edible schoolyard to teach students healthy eating and many other valuable science lessons.
Along with the garden, the volunteers from Kaiser Permanente will help build an outdoor teaching kitchen and an outdoor stage at the school.
“The gardens will not only help enhance the appearance of our school but offer valuable learning stations to our students,” said Toranto.
Students will be able to see their new enhanced campus on Monday. Media and community members are also invited to visit the school on Monday and throughout the week to view the gardens.
