We will continue to grow!

Our mission in the gifted program at Union Academy is to enhance education and encourage students to think beyond the box.  (Literally)  Students were presented the challenge of making a garden using only recyclable materials. 

 

Students began to scour the campus and found materials that could be used for planters. Their gardens were planned out, soil was tested and the process began and was documented through their journals.  It was interesting to see the personal touches on their entries in their journals as the process began.   The students built their platforms, they prepared the soil, and planted in the appropriate areas.

​

One student was in the process of building a pump that would pump runoff water from a source and water our harvest using a timed method.  

​

Students:  The garden is still being maintained at this time.  Your work and dedication has not gone unnoticed. Pictures will be posted as long as it is possible to do so. We will continue to grow in this unique time both personally and academically.
