Humble Beginnings of the Bodine EfS Project: Part I

Bodine, Teacher Reflections

Part I: And so it begins….

We began with a community asset walk around the Bodine neighborhood (4th and Girard). We discovered several organizations that would be ideal partners for our project. Friends of Orkney Park and City Planter Fit nicely with our food security initiative.

Although we were energized to start this project, we were met with strong resistance from our administration.
