Title: 4-H Sustainable Schools Gathering
Location: Portland, Oregon

Description: Please join Alameda School parents and volunteers for a 4-H Sustainable Schools Gathering. This is our 3rd 4-H Sustainable Schools Gathering for the 2011-12 school year. We will be rotating these gatherings to different schools throughout the year so we can share and learn.

Alameda School has been a 4-H Member school since 2011.

Alameda’s garden is new and in just one year they have accomplished a great deal!. The garden was built during the late winter/spring and dedicated on Earth Day 2011. They are currently in the process of developing a volunteer classroom garden rep system and will have had their first meeting on Jan. 31. The Alameda garden includes 12 raised beds – one for each grade level, one for the special learning classroom and 5 to be assigned to those with extra interest. They also have a butterfly garden, a native plant area and blueberries. This year they are focused on integrating the garden into the school culture so it is being used by teachers (via parent garden rep help), introducing vegetables in to the cafeteria with the help of our principal and vice-principal (handing out tasters on trays as kids wait in line for lunch) and several work parties. They plan to start turning more space in garden and they have a large open area where they hope to soon build an outdoor covered classroom. They have successfully secured several grants as well.

This is a time to network and share with other parents, educators and volunteers who are involved in school gardens in the Portland Metro area. Bring a resource to share with the group. Since this is during an inservice day in Portland, children are welcomed. Please meet inside the main lobby of the school.
