Garden Helps Legacy Students Grow
The students at Legacy Traditional School in Maricopa are learning a lesson in giving and receiving. The school, which opened in Maricopa in 2007, participated in the Disney Give A Day Get A Day program. This program allowed the nonprofit charter school to give a 1 day pass to Disneyland for every person age 6 and over who donated a day of volunteering at the campus. One of the projects that the volunteers completed was making garden boxes for the students to grow vegetables. This past Friday the kindergarten through 6th grade classes were able to go to their class garden and plant tomatoes, onions, peppers, and many other vegetables. Although the younger students had been told that it will take a few weeks to see the seeds sprout, many wanted to watch for a few minutes just in case something happened sooner. The vegetables grown by the students will be used in the Legacy kitchen for staff lunches and also donated to the Maricopa Food Bank.
