First Garden Harvest, Our Students Donate to the West Seattle Food Bank.

The students at Middle College High Point, as part of their service learning curriculum that emphasizes critical thinking, social justice and community engagement, have adopted two garden plots in the High Point Commons p-patch.  This ongoing service learning project allows MCHS HP students to learn about the many benefits of organic gardening while producing healthy food to donate to the West Seattle Food Bank.  This project is about much more than gardening, it is about health, community building, service and justice.
