After School Civic Ecology Projects, Jefferson County
The Advantage After School Program in cooperation with LaFargeville Central Schools and Cornell Cooperative Extension nutrition department (CCE) successfully launched a weather-dependent tradition: ecology projects like “portable gardens” for local food pantries. In partnership with CCE which provided top soil, 300 five-gallon buckets and 300 tomato plants, dozens of Advantage After School students, grades 2 through 8, assembled with adult help “Bucket Gardens” that trucks later delivered to area pantries. Other projects followed: working with 4-H Educators, Advantage students planted bulbs at the Stone Mills Agricultural Museum, and 100 spruce trees. This spring they will plant an equal number of shrubs, all donated by the NYS Nursery. Students learned safe use of hand and power tools as well as good planting technique. They also learned through cooperative efforts about their collective impact on a grateful community.
