FARM TOUR & U-PICK ADVENTURE
MONDAY 10/26 10am-Noon
Living Classroom volunteers have been invited back for a Farm Tour and U-Pick Adventure on Monday 10/26 from 10am-Noon! Tera Farm, a nonprofit that supports small farmers, is hosting this event for us. Tera Farm was founded by LASD’s very own Sheena Vaidyanathan. We will visit farms in San Juan Bautista (15 mins from Gilroy) that are growing flowers, veggies, and apples - and at this time of the year, a very large number of Marigolds. Feel free to bring your own lunch if you'd like to stay afterward to eat at the farm. Family and friends are welcomed to participate! Sign up here today! Once you sign up, you'll receive information on where to park, etc. We hope to see you there!

Who We Are
Living Classroom is a hands-on environmental education program developed in the Los Altos School District that offers engaging standards-based lessons using the native and edible gardens at each school campus. The lessons are taught by a passionate group of educators made up of district staff and trained volunteer docents.
What We Do
We provide hands-on outdoor lessons that tie into science, math, and social studies curriculum for grades TK-6. Our fun and experiential lessons get students excited about learning, encourage healthy eating habits, and foster a love for nature and environmental stewardship.
Get Involved!
