Wright Charter School: Santa Rosa

Although relatively new to school gardens, Wright will use their 2011-2012 GBE grant for a garden coordinator to help design and implement lessons and activities that incorporate standards-based skills and concepts from all core subject areas.

Currently, 440 students participate in a garden activity on a weekly basis, and their grant will help expand that. A majority of classes have at least one-half hour of scheduled time per week. Wright has also received other grants to install a vermicomposting system, and for a greenhouse.
