SEED takes a comprehensive approach to provide schools free on-site training, volunteers, professional presentations, resources, student project funding and local field trip program. Trained
SEED volunteers work directly with Kindergarten - 5th Graders
and their teachers, providing hands-on environmental programs
to expand awareness of local issues and resources. SEED empowers
youth to become advocates for environmental protection and
role m In Dixie School our Outdoor Mentor Program mirrors the SEED program and includes both SEED trained volunteers and garden volunteers. The aim of the program is to assist the teachers of Dixie school with the teaching of their curriculum in the environs of the school campus. We are fortunate to have access to many wonderful resources: Miller creek, a campus with many trees, an established garden with ten raised boxes and a further three boxes near the Kindergarten classes, a Native American Indian Garden, a Butterfly garden, and a Colonial Garden. There is also a beautiful Hummingbird Garden planted by Mrs. Reddick, a first grade teacher, in the lunchtime eating area.
