Nellie E Bird Elementary Family Faculty Organization (BIRD FFO)

Hello I'm Pete Rogerson, I’m raising funds to build a set of outdoor planters and elevated gardens that will give elementary students a hands-on opportunity to learn about gardening and nature. The project includes four large wooden planters, each 4 feet long and 2 feet wide, placed on both sides of the playground to serve 1st through 5th graders. Alongside these, each grade will receive 5-gallon buckets filled with soil to create tiered gardens, allowing students to explore planting, growth cycles, and environmental care in a fun and interactive way. Your support will help cover materials like soil, buckets, and seeds, turning a simple playground into a vibrant learning space where young minds can grow, literally and figuratively.
