Hamilton Elementary/Middle School has focused on integrating arts and environmental science into its programs, and used its first-year grant award to develop a community garden on what had been an asphalt lot behind the school. The gardening program has paid dividends for the school, providing hands-on learning opportunities to students at all grade levels and attracting new parents in the neighborhood to volunteer at the school. The second-year grant award will continue to support the gardening program and enhance the science learning opportunities.
