Each year the DCFB Foundation awards $250 grants to local teachers for the implementation of a classroom agriculture project. These teachers go above and beyond to make their classroom experience exciting and memorable. Check out what their students have been learning this year!

Teacher Grant Winner #1: Austin Chu from G. Stanley Hall Elementary

Austin used his grant funding to purchase a HotBin compost bin, which allowed his students to demonstrate composting in a simple and effective way. His 3rd-5th grade students learned to separate organic waste, learned about decomposition, and observed how food scraps and yard waste transform into nutrient-rich compost for the school garden. Over the weeks, students participated in collecting food scraps from classrooms and the cafeteria, adding the right mix of “greens” and “browns”, and maintaining the compost’s moisture and aeration. They monitored the compost’s progress and deepened their understanding of the natural cycle. By the end of the project, the students had a clear understanding of the composting process and why it matters.
