some of my ideas for activities are

This will be the first year to start back up, I’m told a teacher
ran one many years ago here. My goals depend upon contribution
levels. I will canvas local stores for donations as well. If
you know of any local nurseries that have helped with this sort of
thing in the past that would be great.

I would like to start with potted plants in the fall. I
can buy one house plant, and since they are always crowded, split it many
times. I want to get medium terracotta pots that the students could
decorate, and eventually take home. I am also considering that if a
teacher wanted a plant for their classroom they could sign up and we
would deliver them after a month or so. I will get some LED overhead lamps to
dedicate a shelf or two for starting plants inside.

I would love to get back into vermiculture and keep a worm bin
in my classroom, kept under a table. I have done extensive
composting when I had a backyard garden and kept worm bins in my garage.
I even took a worm bin to some boy scout camps, and gave presentations on
sustainability.

I would like to compost here on the school grounds as well
using a pallet bin method I have used before. I would like to involve the
cafeteria into sorting out some of the compostable waste as well, starting
small to get them on board. A leaf blower that reverses would aid
in shredding OPBL other peoples bagged leaves that I will collect and bring to
the school.

I plan on preparing raised beds this fall to plant
in the spring. My past experience with gardening in VA is that
raised beds are much more manageable with the amount of rainfall we get.
One thing that would absolutely depend on donations is a hoop houses using
plans that require PVC and low raised tunnels.

The final stages of the student garden would be a fund
raiser with potted flowers for Mother’s Day and a few Saturday mornings at one
of the local farmer’s markets selling produce from our garden.

You aren't posting in the right place :-) This is not a gardening or plant forum but one that was intended to gather input on how the forums work or could be improved (read the blurb under the forum title).

Try posting in the Gardening With Kids forum or even Housplants to get some proper feedback.

Bob Loy, could you explain how you came to be posting here?

Please.

Pretty please with...nm...
