School Day Enrichment
Seed To Table Gardens and Classroom Program
We are ready to start our second year of Slow Food Denver's Seed-To-Table School Garden Projects. This year, classrooms will be given a chance to plant a vegetable garden, learn about soil quality and composting methods, to study bees and pollination, look at the role of worms and insects in gardens, and learn farming techniques of Native Americans. As in the culinary adventures, the Seed-To-Table project exposes students to new foods and flavors, such as stuffed squash blossoms, Indian Pumpkin Stew, and fried green tomatoes, to expand their palates and to encourage culinary adventures at home.
SPREE (South Platte River Environmental Education)
Each year SPREE takes students of all ages down to the South Platte River to learn about, experience, and enjoy the river.

Students in the intermediate grades learn about business, economics, government, banking, and free enterprise in a fun and hands-on way.

Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) promotes the joy of reading by allowing each student to choose three free books throughout the course of the school year.
