SLS Vertical Garden Work Continues at Stamford’s STEMfest
From Science Teacher David Havens:
Last Saturday, Marco Volpitta '20 and Jack Briggs '21 represented St. Luke’s at the annual STEMfest gathering and workshop at Mill River Park in Stamford. During STEMfest we worked on a new garden as well as explained the process to dozens of people that stopped by St. Luke’s table. The most common question asked was how a school might be able to receive one of our gardens. Jack even spoke with Stamford Mayor David Martin who wanted to know more about our gardens.
We are currently building a garden which will go to Hart School in Stamford later this month and plan to complete three more gardens before the end of the year. The new units will be given to Northeast School in Stamford and a school in the South Bronx.
Through STEMfest, we made a new connection with Norwalk schools and hope to work with them next year.
St. Luke’s School is a secular (non-religious), private school in New Canaan, CT for grades 5 through 12 serving over 40 towns in Connecticut and New York. Our exceptional academics and diverse co-educational community foster students’ intellectual and ethical development and prepare them for top colleges. St. Luke’s Leading with Humanity curriculum builds the commitment to serve and the confidence to lead.
