the
Woman When was l I itt I love le, The B d ion Woman ic .
She was a school teacher who was also a super-powered cyborg secret agent. In comic books, there’s always a hero like that, someone who has amazing powers they use to save the day. I didn’t realize until I grew older what it truly meant to be a hero. Real heroes are just ordinary people working hard to do extraordinary things and to make the world a better place.
Luckily, I know a place that ordinary teachers, parents, and funders can go to become heroes. Clark Kent ducks into a phonebooth to change into Superman, and REAL School Gardens’ heroes step out their classroom door into their learning gardens, where they work to improve our schools every single day.
And boy, do our children need heroes. This year’s annual report is dedicated to these REAL heroes, because in addition to our support, I think every good hero deserves their own comic book. We are honored to work with them and amazed to see what they accomplished this year. We can’t wait to see where their next adventure takes us.
According to recent test scores from the National Assessment of Educational Progress and the Program for International Student Assessment, students across the United States are failing to understand even the most basic scientific principles, such as the life cycle of an organism, or recognizing that plants produce their own food. These scores are especially alarming in low-income neighborhoods. This deficit threatens not only the welfare of these children, but the United States’ future competitiveness in science and technology.
Sincerely,
Jeanne McCarty
If we don’t do something now, our future as a nation looks pretty bleak.

Unleashing the Power of school leaders The REAL School Gardens
program was created for teachers by teachers to get kids excited about science, math and language arts lessons, helping them learn the skills they’ll need to achieve long-term results by getting them engaged in hands-on outdoor learning.
It feels like a d come tr ream ue. can’t sin I just g the praises of REAL School Gardens enough.

After 15 years of teaching, Scott Smith felt burned out. “I was quickly losing my enthusiasm for the job,” said Scott. But then REAL School Gardens installed a learning garden in February 2011, and Scott immediately embraced the new resource. Scott says, “The REAL school garden has made such a difference. I love being a teacher again, and my enthusiasm is contagious. The whole class is a lot more engaged in the science lessons we do outside. Whether that involves working with the vegetable beds or just measuring perimeters and calculating areas, the garden brings learning to life, and makes a huge difference in what my students understand and remember.”

Power of learning gardens The
Jaylin and Jissel had never watched anything grow before they had a REAL school garden. Now the thing that’s grown the most is the girls’ understanding of their lessons. The girls learned science while conducting experiments and investigating the different properties of plants. They learned math while calculating the exact center of the garden to plant a tree, and the square footage of fertilizer in a raised bed. The girls thrived when learning in the garden, and their grades started improving — Jaylin’s improved from Cs to As.

The children are then invited to an elegant dinner made with the produce they grew. 5

High Velocity Volunteers REAL School Gardens brings together parents from all backgrounds, providing principals with a great way to get everyone involved in their students’ education.
dads club When David Camp’s son’s school installed a REAL school garden, he joined other fathers to form a “Dads Club”, a diverse group from many different backgrounds, languages, ethnicities, and socio-economic levels. Working together, the dads graded the land, tilled the soil and shaped the beds. They also secured funding, donations and supplies and continue to take care of the garden and keep it thriving for the students.
“It’s a great way to connect with other parents and teachers,” David says.

REAL School Gardens offers corporations a fun and satisfying day of service. Our “Big Dig” garden installation events bring together hundreds of volunteers to work side by side with fellow employees, as well as teachers, parents and the students themselves.
terrific teamwork! To keep their employees energized and engaged, Mercedes-Benz Financial Services funds yearly volunteer projects such as building a REAL school garden. This helps staff members get to know one another outside of work, which makes them a stronger team and better communicators. Wesley Bumgarner, the project manager for Mercedes-Benz Financial Services said, “We chose REAL
School Gardens because they create a lasting impact in the community. Not just a one-day event, but something that goes on and on as the garden grows.”
REAL s School Garden brings our whole office together as a team.

STEM
in the
schoolyard
To promote the importance of STEM education, REAL School Gardens partnered with United Way of Metropolitan Dallas and Texas Instruments to hold a “STEM in the Schoolyard� event. We paired up 40 Dallas-area executives with 5th grade students for a series of fun hands-on science lessons; including building solar ovens using pizza boxes, re-wiring calculators to run on potato power, building catapults and identifying the laws of physics at work when using simple garden tools.
STEM JOB GROWTH IS
THAT IN OTHER FIELDS
Out of AAA batteries? How about SPUDS? Potatoes contain phosphoric acid which acts as an electrolyte to facilitate an electro-chemical reaction when two metals such as zinc and copper are inserted into a potato.

responsibility responsibility REAL School Gardens started small, with a handful of friends and volunteers working out of their cars to build learning gardens in a few deserving schools. But in the five years since we were incorporated, REAL School Gardens has grown even faster than we’d hoped. We’ve partnered with 81 schools in five school districts, reaching 45,000 elementary school students, 3,000 educators, and thousands of volunteers every year. Although we’re growing quickly, we never forget the values that got us where we are today.
1.
Change it up. IN ORDER TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, WE NEED TO LOOK
AT WAYS TO DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY. Change is how we learn and grow. So we don’t stop with transforming the physical garden space, we transform schools with fresh new ways to teach and learn. We challenge volunteers to work outside their comfort zone, educators to teach outside the classroom, and children to make discoveries of their own.
2.
Get your hands dirty. THE MOST REAL EXPERIENCES ENGAGE YOUR HEAD, HANDS AND HEART. We push students to think outside the classroom. We train teachers to step away from the textbook. And we ask our funders to give more than a donation. Parents, funding partners and community members build more than a garden when they volunteer : they build new skills, new relationships and a new awareness of their place in the community and the world. Working side by side in the soil is a great experience for everyone.
10
3.
Keep it simple. SIMPLE SOLUTIONS TO COMPLEX PROBLEMS ARE
THE MOST POWERFUL ONES. We build learning gardens because nature is an effective teaching tool that’s right outside most schools. Kids are more engaged when they’re enjoying the simple pleasures of being outside, exploring the natural world. Teachers are busy, so we provide on-the-job training and make our lessons as easy as possible to adopt and implement with their classes.
Make it last.
4.
EVERYTHING WE DO, WE DO WITH AN EYE
TOWARDS THE FUTURE. Building a garden is just the beginning. We then provide teachers with the training and support they need to use their new resource to its fullest potential. We build lasting relationships with our funding partners and school partners because we begin with a solid foundation based on shared goals and mutual respect. The students learning in our gardens gain skills, experiences and knowledge that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.
5.
Do good business.
GOOD ORGANIZATIONS, BOTH FOR-PROFIT AND NON-PROFIT, ARE FOCUSED ON CREATING VALUE — FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS, THEIR SHAREHOLDERS, AND THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE. We don’t work FOR our partners, our teachers, or even our students. We work WITH them. To achieve our mission, we honor and respect everyone’s contributions and goals. We are purposeful and passionate; we balance head and heart. It isn’t enough to do good. We do good business.
