🌱 Educate Fairfax Grant Highlight 🌱
Learning grows in the most meaningful ways when students can get their hands in the soil.
At Mantua Elementary School, second grade students are exploring the world of sustainable gardening through the Grow and Learn program. With support from an Educate Fairfax Grant, 120 students are discovering where food comes from, learning environmentally responsible practices, and building a deeper connection to the world around them.
Led by Fairfax County Public Schools educator Michele Sullivan, this hands-on experience is helping young learners understand the importance of caring for our environment while nurturing curiosity and responsibility.
This is what your support makes possible. Real learning. Lasting impact. Growing minds.
