Green Our Planet's Ciara Byrne Selected for Obama Foundation Fellowship

I couldn’t be more proud of Ciara Byrne, one of our 2019 #ObamaFellows, who’s growing gardens like these across the desert to not only help kids learn science and math, but also understand the importance of taking care of our planet. Keep up the good work, @greenourplanet!  

"These gardens have given students a sense of confidence and responsibility by maintaining their own gardens and growing their own fruits and vegetables. The impact Green Our Planet is making through these gardens within the Las Vegas community is just tremendous."

"We are very lucky at our school because thanks to the support…of Green Our Planet…the garden has had an enormous, positive impact at our school."

"The excitement and joy that having an outdoor classroom such as this garden is an important element to moving our students towards being engaged in learning."

"Everyday, the students surprise me and fill me up with hope. I know for a fact Crestwood couldn't do this without you! Students and families are realizing their power while working in the garden. Our school culture is benefiting tremendously."
