Saturday, December 10th, 20 volunteers stopped in Northside's backyard throughout the day to build the frame of the new hoop house! After raising over $2,000 through a GoFundMe and recieveing a $2,000 grant from student council, a hoop house was bought and delivered by truck from Tunnel Vision Hoops (OH) a couple of weeks ago. The hoop house will be used by a colloquium under SEAO to maintain and grow seeds throughout the second semester. The students involved in this colloquium will build raised beds for the hoop house, mix soil, grow seeds, and harvest the plants to donate to food pantries near Northside. The end goal is to be able to use the hoop house to bring fresh produce to students' lunch plates through an Eat What You Grow program. It will also be used as a connection between Northside and food pantries in the community and potentially build relationships with local elementary schools. The hoop house will provide many educational opportunities. Experiential learners will develop a greater understanding of the environment by engaging in first-hand experiences within topics such as ecology, food, water, energy, allocation of resources, conservation, health, sustainability, waste, gardening, and sense of community.
