Webb Elementary School Garden Clean-up and Reestablishment

Webb Elementary is the first Elementary School to benefit from our Elementary School Garden initiative.  This initiative will build on our journey with McKinney Roots and the East McKinney Learning Gardens and begin to create school gardens that will enhance the learning of our elementary students. Our goal is to connect our students and community by developing school gardens where students can connect their learning in math, science and STEAM to real world applications. Our gardens will serve as a means of collaboration, problem solving and connection for our students.

At Webb Elementary we will be reestablishing our gardens!  We want to clean-up the garden beds, restain them and the benches so the outside courtyard is an inviting extension of the classrooms.
