Vision StatementThe La Mariposa School students, staff, parents,
and community will work cooperatively to create and maintain a
sustainable organic garden. All students will learn to
appreciate natural beauty and develop a sense of responsibility.
Gardening activities will promote learning about local and
seasonal produce, healthy lifestyle choices, and will support
student understanding of the academic standards. CHECK OUT THE
