What is a raised garden bed?

A raised garden is typically made out of materials such as wood or concrete. Soil is placed into the bed with the intention for seeds to go in there. Then you water the seeds so that plants can grow in there.

Why should we build a raised garden bed at our school?

We should build a raised garden bed because it is a pretty cheap design (if you only buy one).

What should we not build a raised garden bed at our school?

We should not build a raised garden bed because if you buy more than one garden bed, it can start to get pretty pricey. Also, if we don’t want it to get pricey, and we only get one, we can’t grow so many plants.

Explain why you like this raised garden bed and what makes it best.

I like this raised garden bed/it makes it the best( to me) because it looks like it could grow a lot of plants. Also, the design looks unique because most designs are just your standard rectangular box, but this has “character” to it. Also, since it has character, I think/hope that if we built this design, people in the community would see it and be intrigued by the unique idea, and they would maybe want to volunteer more with the taking care of the plants.

 What is your avatar?

My avatar is a lot of hearts inside of one big heart. The heart is different shades of pink because pink is one of my favorite colors.

Why did you chose to make your avatar what it is?

My avatar is a heart because I like to be nice to others and I think a heart represents that. This is because it shows love, which is what kindness is in my opinion. I also chose this avatar because there are lots of mini hearts draw into one bigger heart. To me, this represents the world. This is because each one of us is a little heart, and when we come together and are kind to each other, we create a bigger heart, which shows all the kindness/ love in the world.

 What super power your avatar has/should have?

The superpower my avatar has is to make the world a better place. This is shown because love/kindness makes the world a better place in my opinion, which in this case is represented through hearts, and there are hearts in my avatar. I feel that I am already trying to do this as much as possible. An example is when somebody is not included or looks sad/alone, I always try to include them and make them feel like they belong!

Poverty impacts our community because of where you live ( geographically), your schooling, your family structure, and your health. This is because if all these things arent so good for you, you will have a challenging life because you dont have the advantages of all these things which really help to make a good life. Poverty especially affects black people because people are still racist which makes then black people enabled to get things that other people are able to get such as jobs. This then makes them not have money to pay for things such as houses, food, good schools and good health which then makes them go into poverty. Short term poverty is when you arent in poverty for such a long time. Long term poverty is when you are in poverty for a long time. Poverty mostly happens in the city of Milwaukee out of all of the Milwaukee County.
