Schoolyard Garden

Rogers Elementary is excited to announce that we have built a schoolyard garden! All grade levels, kindergarten through 4th grade, will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on, standard-based curriculum through our schoolyard garden.  


Research shows that a schoolyard garden:

  • Provides students with real-life, hands-on outdoor learning experiences.
  • Helps students develop an appreciation and stewardship for the environment.
  • Increases science achievement scores.
  • Increases students’ knowledge and interest in eating healthier.
  • Provides highly engaging learning activities that support our  academic standards. 
  • Improves social skills and behaviors.
