Stage 5 GGC Innovation Project:Visit Drew Farms – 1 pt

OVERVIEW:

Detroit Public Schools Community District Office of School Nutrition provides hands-on, STEAM centered field trips for Prek-12th grade DPSCD students. This full day experiential learning opportunity is supported by the DPSCD Office of Science and integrates Next Generation Science Standards into the day’s activities and lessons. We hope to see you and your students at Drew!

Drew Farm is a 2.5 acre farm located at Drew Transition Center (a DPSCD school) that grows over 20,000 pounds of produce per year that goes directly into Detroit school cafeterias. Drew Farm is operated by the Detroit School Garden Collaborative staff, a farm to school program operated through the DPSCD Office of School Nutrition.

Field Trip Agenda:

All age groups will participate in the following activities:

Interactive Farm tour Hands-on High Tunnel lesson Nutrition lesson & cooking demo

Field Trips at Drew Farm are offered March-November on Wednesdays. The full day experience is 9:30am-1:30pm. Time can be flexible based on school needs. We have a maximum of 40 students and 10 chaperones. Schools are only responsible for covering the cost of transportation. If bus cost is an issue, we will work with schools as best we can. We ask for sliding scale of $1-5 per student to cover programming costs.
