Minneapolis Public Schools

Have you ever wondered about how the earth's climate is impacted by how we grow food and what we eat? We will explore our local and state food systems, learn about how what we grow impacts our climate, and ways you can be an important voice in climate resilience related to food. We will grow hydroponic greens and make tasty snacks from what we grow. You will also share your voice through various multi-media channels.  Students will take walking field trips to identify plants in the neighborhood and continue to plant and grow food in their indoor greenhouse.

• Note: Community Education uses a sliding scale model for program fees so our afterschool programs can be financially sustainable and more equitable. Families are asked to pick the price that they are able to pay. By more clearly articulating our lower cost options, we have removed the barrier that some may have felt in making scholarship requests. When families participate at the higher price levels, they help make the program more sustainable.
  • Pricing Scale:
    • Class Fee - covers staffing and supply costs
    • Higher price levels 1 & 2 - supports sustainable programming & scholarships
