Sustainability Club
At Nova Eisenhower, we maintain a Kindness Garden that includes a butterfly habitat, bromeliads, fruit, and vegetable-producing plants. Nova Eisenhower's Kindness Garden provides hands-on experiences that enrich our curriculum. Gardening makes learning interesting and meaningful for our students. Students can connect what they learn in math, social studies, science, reading, health, and writing to what they experience in their classroom gardens.
At Nova Eisenhower, our gardens provide benefits that go beyond the classroom. Students, teachers, parents, and community members interact to create and care for our gardens. Students develop interpersonal social skills and learn how to work cooperatively with each other.
Nova Eisenhower's gardens allow urban students to learn in an outdoor environment and to have close and personal contact with nature. This in turn appears to be improving our students' environmental attitudes and understanding of concepts! We have found that our students who grow their own vegetables are more likely to taste and like the vegetables that they have grown. Many of our students have planted gardens of their own at home and are producing their own fruits and vegetables!
Our Sustainability Club also participates in Hollywood Beach Clean-up initiatives and other environmentally friendly programs in the community and with our school.
Sustainability Club meetings on Mondays in the Kindness Garden at 8:40am-9:15am.
