2023-24 Awards
Due to dedicated efforts by our new School Grant Outreach Coordinator, Julie Haws, the club was able to fund more garden projects than in past years. The projects that teachers submitted applications for were varied; vegetable gardens, CA native pollinator and drought tolerant gardens, science project kits, composting and field trips.
A total of nine grants of $250 each are being given to five different schools, helping teachers with fantastic garden projects. The grants go to the following schools:
Marina High School
- Rebecca Tyson
- Christion Sousa
- Cindy Lepore Hart
Ione Olsen Elementary

MT&GC looks forward to getting progress reports and photos from the teachers that we will put in our newsletter, highlighting the students participating in their projects.
