A grant will help fund a Japanese garden where students can learn and embrace the traditions of Japan. The current space which would feature a Japanese garden is a rundown weed-fest that has been neglected for years. We will improve this space by transforming it into a Japanese garden for our entire community.
The classroom can get loud and it can be hard to concentrate so having this garden would act as a multipurpose space where kids can relax and embrace the feeling of Japanese culture. For students with sensory challenges, the space may also prevent stress and create a quiet space to withdraw to. Some students prefer being able to work in relaxing and peaceful areas which are hard to find, particularly around the Orange unit.
