Shop 4% Friday on January 28th to Support Little Mountain Elementary
Little Mountain Elementary provides high-quality, student-centered education that allows kids to use their voice and power to make a difference in their community. Little Mountain seeks to connect students and families to healthy lifestyle and nutritional choices by developing and maintaining a school garden on campus.
Little Mountain has already begun to see positive change in their students with this program in place. As students learn about sustainability and take civic action in the garden, they are also learning about where their food comes from, and how important it is for everyone to have access to fresh, healthy food.
How Will Your Shopping Trip Support Little Mountain Elementary?
Little Mountain will use 4% Friday funds to purchase a garden shed to store their tools for easy student access and to build a kiosk and outdoor classroom on campus near their garden. Currently, Little Mountain is storing garden equipment outdoors where it could easily be damaged by weather or lost entirely. A shed would ensure safety and access to garden tools for all students.
Adding an outdoor classroom in a currently empty lot from recent portable removal will provide students with the opportunity to take pride in their school by beautifying the area, while fostering an appreciation for the outdoors, our environment, and community.
