| FEATURE New Growth: LLA Garden Cultivates Peace, Perspective for Ecology Students
| CUESA is proud to partner with Life Learning Academy, a charter school San Francisco Unified School District charter high school on Treasure Island, for our youth development, gardening and entrepreneurship program, Schoolyard to Market. This Sunday, April 29, Schoolyard to Market students will be selling their school garden products at Jack London Square Farmers Market, and they'll be popping up at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market on May 8, 12, and 19.
Schoolyard to Market students are growing more than just veggies in their school garden: they're growing confidence, calm, and connections with nature. Hear about their discoveries from the students themselves, in the Life Learning Academy blog. |
