the project
PS 11 will be working with support from Just Food to build a chicken coop in the garden. Funds are needed to purchase supplies to build the coop. Just Food staff will provide training and support and PS 11 families & volunteers will build the coop. The chickens will be cared for by PS 11 students and families and will be used to enrich PS 11's science curriculum. The coop will be built during the first 2 weeks of August 2012 and will be ready for chickens before students return to school in September.
the steps
Working with the Just Food City Chicken Project. Just Food staff will guide PS 11 families & volunteers in building the coop. The PS 11 coop will be built in August over a 2 day period.
why we're doing it
Having chickens in our schoolyard will help students make a connection to where their food comes from and how important it is to take care of the environment they live in.
