¡Apoya el Futuro de Nuestros Estudiantes! ¡Ayuda a Lanzar Nuestro Campamento de Verano Farm Hub en Georgetown!
Estimados padres de la comunidad de la Escuela Primaria North Georgetown,
Ubicado justo al lado del área de juegos en NGE, el Jardín SNAC sirve como un aula al aire libre donde los estudiantes pueden participar en aprendizaje práctico sobre nutrición, agricultura y cuidado del medio ambiente. Desde sembrar semillas hasta cosechar productos frescos, los estudiantes tienen la oportunidad de conectar con la naturaleza y aprender habilidades valiosas para la vida.
Pero el Jardín SNAC es más que solo un lugar para cultivar frutas y verduras. Es un ecosistema vibrante que fomenta la curiosidad, la creatividad y el trabajo en equipo. A través de actividades de jardinería, los estudiantes desarrollan una comprensión más profunda de dónde proviene su comida y la importancia de prácticas sostenibles. Con sus estudiantes, pasamos tiempo dedicado afuera aprendiendo sobre la ciencia a través de la práctica de cultivar alimentos y conocer la naturaleza.
Al contribuir a nuestro Fondo para el Jardín de la Escuela Primaria North Georgetown, no solo nos estás ayudando a pagar por un educador de jardín dedicado en NGE, sino que también eres fundamental en el lanzamiento de un nuevo campamento de verano agrícola y programa de mentoría en Georgetown, en colaboración con la Escuela Howard T. Ennis (al otro lado de la Central High), completo con un programa de becas que estará disponible para estudiantes de NGE.
Tu apoyo significa mucho para nosotros. ¡Con tan solo una pequeña donación, puedes ayudarnos a proporcionar experiencias enriquecedoras para nuestros estudiantes! Cada contribución, independientemente del tamaño, nos acerca más a nuestro objetivo. Además, ¡el número de donaciones importa tanto como la cantidad, ya que nos ayuda a ganar premios adicionales y a alcanzar nuestro objetivo más rápido! ¡Una donación de $5-10 puede hacer una gran diferencia!
¡Gracias por tu apoyo inquebrantable! ¡Juntos podemos tener un impacto duradero en la vida de nuestros hijos!
Sinceramente,
Shandra Furtado, Directora de los Jardines SNAC, y el Equipo Directivo de la Escuela Primaria North Georgetown
Support Our Students' Future! Help Launch Our Farm Hub Summer Camp in Georgetown!
Dear parents of the North Georgetown Elementary community,
Located right next to the playground at NGE, the SNAC Garden serves as an outdoor classroom where students can engage in hands-on learning about nutrition, agriculture, and environmental stewardship. From planting seeds to harvesting fresh produce, students have the opportunity to connect with nature and learn valuable life skills.
But the SNAC Garden is more than just a place to grow fruits and vegetables. It's a vibrant ecosystem that fosters curiosity, creativity, and teamwork. Through gardening activities, students develop a deeper understanding of where their food comes from and the importance of sustainable practices. With your students, we spend dedicated time outside learning about science through the practice of growing food and learning about nature.
By contributing to our North Georgetown Elementary Garden Fund, you're not only helping us pay for a dedicated garden educator at NGE, but you're also instrumental in launching a new farming summer camp and mentorship program in Georgetown, in collaboration with Howard T. Ennis School (across from Central High), complete with a scholarship program that will be available to NGE students.
Your support means the world to us. With just a small donation, you can help us provide enriching experiences for our students. Every contribution, regardless of size, brings us closer to our goal. Additionally, the number of donations matters as much as the amount, as it helps us win extra prizes and reach our goal faster. A $5-10 donation goes a long way!
Thank you for your unwavering support. Together, we can make a lasting impact on our children's lives!
Sincerely,
Shandra Furtado, Director of the SNAC Gardens, and North Georgetown Elementary Leadership Team

About SNAC Garden Foundation
Mission: to enrich communities through cultivating meaningful relationships to nature, food, and personal well-being.
The SNAC (School Nutrition Agri-Culture) Garden Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming schoolyards into vibrant outdoor classrooms where students of all backgrounds can engage in hands-on environmental STEM education, health education, and ecological stewardship.
Through weekly garden-based lessons, we provide over 2,500 students at Longneck Elementary, North Georgetown Elementary, Georgetown Middle School, and Howard T. Ennis with meaningful opportunities to connect with nature, grow their own food, and develop lifelong healthy habits. Our trained garden educators lead lessons on topics such as soil health, plant life cycles, sustainable agriculture, and nutrition—ensuring every child has access to outdoor learning experiences.
By integrating gardening with science, history, and mindfulness, we empower students to become environmental stewards and cultivate a deeper connection to their communities.
