St. Pius School in Calgary hosted a
screening of "And This is my Garden" at the Dutton Theatre
last week at The Calgary Library. The documentary is about a small
town in northern Manitoba where a dedicated teacher created a
curriculum around gardening that extends through the summer and
involves students caring for their own raised beds at their homes.
This film demonstrates the impact dedicated teachers can have on their students' health and sense of empowerment by teaching them the basic skills that will allow them to produce healthy food in an environment increasingly controlled by corporate interests.
St. Pius School is home to one of Calgary's school yard naturalization projects that was initiated by parents 12 years ago. It maintains a beautiful school garden that children, parents, and teachers can be proud of!
