PROJECT DESCRIPTION
BACKGROUND/DESCRIPTION OF NEED
We have had an active composting program at the school for the past 2 years. Students and
Faculty compost their food and garden scraps in this program in an effort to reduce waste and
garbage in the landfill. The 2021-22 composting program at Miami Beach South Pointe
Elementary School (the "School") is proposed to continue at the school's existing composting
station. Due to lack of funds, we have had to put the existing program on hold.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The 2021-22 program will consist of 2 active composting bins. The compost collected by the
school will be emptied weekly into the composting bins and transformed into compost soil castings
by a composting company. The finished soil will then used in the school's garden to plant new
beds.
LOCATION
Miami Beach South Pointe Elementary School Garden
GRANT ACTIVITIES
Through the composting program at the School, Students will be active members in composting
their food waste. The food waste will turn into soil that will be used in the School's garden and
gardening classes.
The Grant Amount will be given to the Grantee, and the Grantee will distribute to the compost
company on a monthly basis as they service the compost area. The Grant Amount will also be
used for supplies to service the composting rings --- mulch, shovel, buckets.
GOALS/OUTCOMES
The goal is to educate the community and students on the importance of composting and
eliminating food waste.
STAFFING
Gardening Class Teachers — Patty Oleson, Paola Portugal, and Estefania Parada will manage
and oversee the composting bins. Leslie Abraham Fernandez will aid in the school wide program
of composting and community outreach.
They will also be responsible for educating the children through classes in the School garden
aimed at a school-wide educational program. This educational program will be strong during April
2022 after testing.
