Students showcase school garden as Team 66 announces $22,000 in classroom grants
Summary
Elizabeth Ide students demonstrated a student‑led garden project and TEAM 66 leaders said volunteers and parents helped award roughly $22,000 in grants for classroom projects, plus support for a Lakeview lobby transformation.
Students from Elizabeth Ide Elementary presented a step‑by‑step account of building a school garden and the board praised their ownership and presentation skills. Principal Katie Johnson and teacher Heather Tran were credited for guiding the students through the project, which the board described as demonstrating student ownership and accountability. "Students provided a step-by-step account of how they created a school garden," the meeting record notes.
TEAM 66 leadership — Kim Pace and Jessica Sage — told the board that parent and community generosity enabled roughly $22,000 in grants that will fund items including flexible seating, hands‑on science exploration, SEL‑integrated art and embroidery projects. The group is also helping to fund a transformation of the Lakeview lobby into a student common area set for completion in the 2025–26 school year. "As a result of all the hard work of TEAM 66 and the generosity of parents, community, and employees, they were able to award approximately $22,000 in grants," the record states.
