We are so excited to provide enrichment for all students in music, science, art, and PE this year. Pictured above are:

In addition to school sports teams, we plan to have a choir, ukulele club, and add an outdoor mural to the wall near our garden. The 2nd graders pictured above are recording scientific information outside. Lots of great things are happening at Juarez-Lincoln!
Although our school garden was established last November, we decided to expand and double our existing growing space. Thanks to a grant from Home Depot, we were able to replace the garden beds, add two large U-shaped beds, add 10 viewing boxes, and plant 4 fruit trees. Benches were also constructed and a child-sized checkerboard was painted onto the ground. We hope to see pumpkins growing on vines soon, just in time for fall. Next up: a student-designed mural will be painted on the wall facing the garden. Come and see what’s blooming at Juarez-Lincoln!
Students and staff collected 2000 pounds of shoes this year for Shoes with Heart, a local non-profit. We earned $800 which benefits our school garden.
The new school garden was constructed in just a few hours! Where once was a barren lot, now there is a functioning school garden. Kids are excited to learn about growing organic vegetables and herbs.
Staff, parents, and volunteers came together on a Saturday morning to build 7 raised planter beds for vegetables and herbs. The Garden Club, comprised of staff, parents, and volunteers, maintain the garden and all classes are invited to visit. An irrigation system was added to ensure plants receive water during holiday weekends and school breaks. The school garden is a symbol of the the great things that are blooming at Juarez-Lincoln!
This is the spot of our future school garden. It will be located next to the preschool classroom and will once completed will be an outdoor classroom. Students will learn about healthy eating and growing fruits and vegetables. The first phase of the garden will be installed on Saturday, November 15 from 9:00am-1:00pm. Come see the transformation!
