In our popular after school program, we embrace the essence of childhood and the playfulness of the season!

Syre garden & cooking
NEW START DATE: TUESDAY SEPT. 23rd (NOT 16th)
Dig in, grow, taste, and create!
In this hands-on program, Syre Elementary students will dive into the school garden through gardening and cooking adventures. Each week, children will plant, tend, and harvest seasonal fruits, vegetables, and herbs, then prepare simple, delicious recipes with their harvest.
Along the way, students will learn where food comes from, connect with nature, and discover the joy of eating what they’ve grown. From seed to snack, this program nurtures curiosity, healthy habits, and a lifelong love of fresh, garden-grown food.
✨ Featuring a local chef guest instructor!
