Urban Farming at Nora Sterry School- After School Program

Do you stay after school on the yard with Beyond the Bell coaches? Well...get ready for a great new after-school program being planned for you as we speak!

Urban Farming (http://www.urbanfarming.org) is collaborating with CSGN (California School Garden Network-LA) and Nora Sterry School's after School program called BEYOND THE BELL.

Students will be encouraged to participate in a variety of activities all designed to raise awareness of the need to rapidly reduce humanity's harm to our planet.

The program will be holistic in nature, patterned after the principles set for by the Center for Ecoliteracy and will eventually become a breeding ground for green-based micro-businesses on LAUSD campuses where students and their parents can begin using public property to raise organic produce and use it for their own consumption or as a means of making money at local certified organic farmers markets throughout the community.
