Many of Markham Middle School’s  students will now be able to spend a happier Christmas because of their peers in Project Give. The PG kids mobilized to throw a Christmas party for some of the neediest families in the school. Seventy-five dollar gift cards were presented to students at the middle school in honor of their achievements despite the obstacles they faced. The school principal and the director of the local Boys and Girls club were at the event to congratulate the kids receiving the awards and encouraged them to keep working hard to make their dreams a reality.

Yes, this is Alice Waters with Mud Baron at the newest Edible Schoolyard in Los Angeles.

Larchmont Charter School students have planted a lovely school garden that is tended by the students. It will be loved and harvested as well as cooked into delicious school lunches by the students.

What a wonderful student-driven GREEN project that they will all benefit from.

Alice said that she looks forward to working with Mud in bringing about our very own Edible Schoolyard for a lucky middle school in LAUSD….! Send your Give A Garden applications in now – this is an opportunity not to be missed …!

The first Project Give service project in Gage Middle School has just been completed. The PG kids worked hard to bring more school pride as they painted their worn lunch benches with the school colors. School staff, students and parents got involved to bring the maroon and gold colors to the lunch area benches.
