Newest Sutton Spirit Draw Winner
Ajax, ON – Congratulations to our latest Sutton Spirit draw winner Laura McBride. This REALTOR® with Sutton Group – Heritage Realty Inc. created Edible Classrooms, a four-season, indoor gardening project for elementary school students. It gives kids the opportunity to enjoy getting their hands dirty as they develop new skills and apply biology, math, art, and health concepts.
Laura is a great example of a Sutton agent stepping in to help their community. As a mother of two young sons, Laura recognized she could make a unique contribution to education, particularly given her prior training in horticulture and landscape design.
Through Edible Classrooms, students learn to grow food and set-up simple irrigation systems, gain basic skills in carpentry and cooking, and create art from natural elements. Laura is happy to see that the program also seems to reduce student stress as they build confidence and a connection to nature.
In September, Laura will resume volunteering in the classroom and is happy to report, “This year’s host teacher will be Kristy Dale, of DDSB and we will be starting the students off with easy organic Buttercrunch lettuce. The students (a.k.a. Green Thumbs) will share a leaf or two for a classroom salad party!”
“Thank you to Sutton Spirit for acknowledging my passion project. I hope it inspires others to share what they know and what they love with the world, especially children!”
