Staying Connected
At Fulton Elementary School, learning doesn’t stay contained within four walls. It takes root just outside them.
That vision took shape with the opening of Fulton’s new learning garden, supported by a nearly $4,000 donation through the GIANT Feeding School Kids initiative. Raised beds, fresh soil, and early plantings mark the beginning of what’ll become a year-long learning space for students. It’s an investment in how students experience education and how a community supports that experience together.
The garden is part of an ongoing partnership with The Edible Classroom a nonprofit organization dedicated to cultivating academic achievement, healthy lifestyles, and environmental stewardship through garden-based learning. Through this work, schools become spaces where students engage directly with food from seed to table, building knowledge through experience rather than observation alone.
That means the garden isn’t an add-on. It’s integrated into the school day and into the curriculum. Students return to the space throughout the year, building understanding over time and developing skills that connect directly to what they’re learning in the classroom!
Thank you to GIANT and to every individual who chose to round up at the register and contribute. That collective generosity is what makes moments like this possible for our students.
