Third Graders in the Science and Social Impact class planted two types of kale, broccoli, and garlic last week in the Lower School garden.
The vegetables will be harvested and donated to Marcus Mart, a food pantry at Marcus Elementary set up and run by Hockaday Upper School students!
The Third Grade social impact theme is Hunger and Food Insecurity, and throughout the year they learn about access to fresh produce varies from neighborhood to neighborhood, and how community gardens can help provide fresh vegetables to those who need them.
Within the private school community, The Hockaday School is an independent college-preparatory day school for girls from grades PK–12 located in Dallas, Texas. Students realize their limitless potential through challenging academic curricula, arts, athletics, and extracurricular programs so that they are inspired to lead lives of purpose and impact.
