StART Growing

To teach students the importance of nurturing not only the environment but also themselves, thereby reinforcing the importance of sustainable practices in both social and environmental contexts. StART Growing is a program that will creatively integrate science and art in addressing the importance of both self and environmental nurturance.
The StART Growing experience will encompass planting and nurturing individual seeds in crocks decorated by the students. The goals of the program include developing an awareness of nurturing one’s self and the environment, improving social skills and tolerance, supporting positive self-concept, and engaging in creative expression through the visual arts. Concepts on both self and environmental nurturance will be presented to the students by the Art Therapists,intended to nurture  “healthy living” techniques in each of the participants. Children are the artists of the future: If we plant the proper seed within their very rich imaginations, the potential masterpieces are boundless.
