The Sixth Grade has a long relationship with the Center for Food Action Garden in Englewood. This garden supplies fresh, organic produce to families struggling with food insecurity, adding variety to their diets and supplying essential nutrients. This garden was first constructed by sixth graders in 2016, and that grade continues to be key to its success: all sixth grade students go on short field trips in small groups to the CFA, where they assist with planting, harvesting, and weeding in this garden, enriching their scientific study of food with a hands-on experience and initiating their service-learning journey at the school.
