Curtis Creek has been remodeling the school garden for the last 3 years. We are so excited to see the progress that has been made during this time. We have added garden bins, gravel, and a watering system, This has been a true team effort with the help of CALFresh, Farms of Tuolumne County, Curtis Creek Parent Assocation, and parents in our district.

This 2024 summer we have added some sensory walls and science learning bins which include: a fairy garden, sensory bug bin, tic tac toe, dinosaur world, cars, dump trucks, etc. We look forward to all the grade levels finding a way to use the garden as an outdoor classroom.

To keep our garden growing we would love to keep an ongoing garden fund. We will use this money to replace plants as needed, shade, add on to our sensory wall and science bins, and continue to develop and build the garden for many years to come. We would also like to get a vegetable garden started next year.

Please come check our garden out at your convenience. We will be featuring a garden club this next school year 2024-2025 and we are hoping for parents to join us to help maintain the garden. More information to come so stay tuned for more!

Additionally, any donations of the following items will help enhance our school garden into a science and sensory learning experience for students. Please leave items in the office or in the garden with Mrs. McIlroy's name on them. Thank you for your support!
