Remember back in the spring when we shared the exciting news that two of our very own CGS teachers—Ms. White and Mrs. Hazzard—won a Coventry Public Schools Innovative Grant for their project, "Growing Together: A Sensory, Educational, and Edible School Garden"? Well, the excitement keeps growing! Thanks to a new partnership with Farm to School, this amazing project is expanding even further to bring an even richer experience to our courtyard.

What is the CGS Sensory Garden? 

This outdoor space is being designed as an outdoor, interactive living learning and co-regulation space. It will give our students a dedicated place to explore, observe, and connect with nature using all five senses—supporting both their academic learning and their emotional well-being throughout the school day.

We Need Your Helping Hands! 

We cannot bring this wonderful outdoor exploration space to life without our incredible CGS community. We invite you and your family to join us as we roll up our sleeves for Phase #1 Family Build Day!

• 📅 Date: Saturday, October 24th

• ⏰ Time: 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM

• 📍 Location: CGS Courtyard

Whether you can lend a hand for an hour or stay for the whole morning, every bit of help makes a difference for our students.

Next Steps

For more details about the day. Be sure to complete the RSVP form so we can properly prepare for materials and tools.

Can’t Volunteer This Time But Still Want to Help?

We’re accepting donations of seeds (now) and live plants (in the spring)! We’re also planning a spring build day to tackle Phase #2. 

We can't wait to work alongside our CGS families to make this space a reality!
