In-school Programming

Our teaching team teaches during the school day every Tuesday and Wednesday at the Mancos Elementary School and once a month at the Early Learning Center. Every student at the Mancos Elementary School receives a 45 minute garden lesson every two weeks throughout the entire school year.

We have been teaching in Mancos for over a decade so many students have participated in garden lessons from Prek or kinder throughout their entire school career. All our lessons are focused on food production, nutrition and resource conservation, most are CO state standards aligned and all lessons as aligned to the Mancos districts portrait of a graduate competencies.
