🐣🥕 By 2028, we aim to have 100 student-centered gardens like this in our district! There's no better way to learn about #sustainability and nutrition than by getting your hands dirty. These gardens offer endless opportunities for learning and provide the school and community with affordable access to fresh, healthy food. 🍅🌿 Check out this gorgeous garden at Inspire Elementary, run with the help of our partner, SustainEd Farms. 🌱 #foodinsecurity #fooddesert #experientiallearning #farming #gardening #climateaction #communitygarden #denver #urbanfarm

About us
The mission of Denver Public Schools is to provide all students the opportunity to achieve the knowledge and skills necessary to become contributing citizens in our diverse society. In DPS, we’re focused on building a system that’s designed to help every student thrive. We’re re-focusing our efforts where they matter most: on creating classrooms that are vibrant centers of learning, where caring teachers are engaging their students in rigorous, culturally responsive experiences in order to lift all students toward a bright horizon. In the last ten years, DPS has experienced unprecedented growth and an expansion of programs. Building on the strong progress we’ve made, we want to continue transforming DPS into a school district grounded in equity. This districtwide focus on equity will be embedded in everything we do, so that we can help break historical patterns and become a school district that is designed to inspire every student to dream big and make their own future.

💪Big upgrades are bringing newfound confidence to students in our 18-21 year old Transition Program!🌟 To prepare young adults with disabilities for independence, funds from the 2020 bond were used to create a new life skills classroom at North High School. 🏡 With full kitchens, washer/dryer, fully accessible bathrooms with showers, new technology, and new furniture, these rooms help students learn how to take care of themselves and feel comfortable transitioning into adulthood. 🍳🧺🚿 "I can tell you Denver voters: this is exactly what needs to be happening to improve the experiences and outcomes for our students," -- Amy Swisher, Senior Manager of Special Education at Denver Public Schools 🔗Learn more about transformative bond projects like these by visiting ourwordourbonddps.org #Denver #lifeskills #ADA #specialeducation #vote
