The District has established a unique and exciting education partnership with Crossroads Farm at Grossmann’s in Malverne, the last working farm in Nassau County. The purpose of the program is to provide fourth-grade students with outdoor experiences at the local farm. The farm-based curriculum will provide lessons connected with the history and the importance of small farms, local organic food, plants, bees and soil regeneration. Fourth-grade class visits will include every aspect of the farm's operation, from the greenhouse to the fields.
The District’s fourth-grade teachers received training at the farm in order to return to the classroom and share their knowledge with the students.
