Garden and Farm Curriculum Meeting

[Ralph Chiodo]

Greetings! 

You're invited to a planning and brainstorming session about garden and farm curriculum implementation into Des Moines Public Schools. A small committee has been meeting to discuss resources and ideas, and we want to begin conversations with a larger group of people- especially educators and administrators with the district. 

The first garden and farm curriculum meeting will be on Friday, June 5th from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm in room 112E of the Dean Avenue Operations Building (1917 Dean Avenue, Des Moines, IA 50316). 

Goals for this meeting:

-Identify current challenges and successful practices for implementing garden/farm curriculum at DMPS

-Discuss ideas and models for farm-to-school curriculum 

-Identify resources needed 

-Discuss district's role in supporting farm-to-school connections to curriculum

-Identify next steps in this discussion

-Optional tour of Forest Avenue Orchard

We would be delighted if you would join us for these conversations, as you have been playing a vital role in promoting this important education already! Please follow this link to let us know you will be attending! Please note- bring 20-25 business cards to connect with fellow farm to school educators and community members. 

See you soon!
