Xylem STEM Support Services

Integrating the program into two schools

7/28/2018

Starting in August, Xylem will be working the after school program at two schools. We will still be active at King Springs but we will be bringing our program to Smyrna Elementary. Starting this Fall, we will be teaching King Springs students about soil and watering, and Smyrna Elementary students about seeds and parts of the plants. The curriculum we use consists of 6 enriching topics that will be cycled through both schools so that the young gardeners can learn all of the steps to starting and maintaining a vegetable garden.

The dates for the King Springs program are as follows:
August 15, 22
September 5, 12, 19
October 3, 10, 24, 31
November 7
We will have our Celebratory Feast on November 14.  Parents are welcomed to this culmination event where their children will discuss what they learned and receive awards.
​

The dates for Smyrna Elementary have yet to be determined.

Super excited about this opportunity. My son is in kindergarten and since he is not old enough to participate, we will be partaking in some of the watering in the evenings and weekends. He helps me at home with our garden and flowers. Looking forward to hearing Smyrna Elementary's schedule.
