Last week (April 27th - May 1st) in honor of EL Education's Better World Week Baystate Academy students from grades 7, 9, and 11 showcased their Collaboration and engineering skills with a focus on Wellness as they worked to expand the Baystate Community Garden and get it ready for planting.

Thanks to Choose and Mr. Sneed we have 9 additional garden beds to grow fresh vegetables, herbs, and some berries too! You may have also noticed some new pops of color out front too. Students planted flowers among the already existing greenery to represent the color and life that we have here in our school community.
If you are interested in supporting the Baystate Garden, with time, energy or donations feel free to reach out!
Our harvest will go right into the hands of our school community so get a little dirty and enjoy the fresh produce
