Carbondale, CO—October 6, 2009 – The Captain Planet Foundation, an international eco-foundation for youth based on the successful Captain Planet cartoon, is proud to announce that Colorado Rocky Mountain School has recently been awarded an educational grant of $2,500. These funds will be used towards the Colorado Rocky Mountain School Organic Garden Learning Center project. “We are thrilled to present this award to Colorado Rocky Mountain School,” says Taryn Murphy, Programs Director. “We receive thousands of submissions each year, and therefore have to be very selective to whom we award funding. We feel that this project deserves exploration and attention and wish Colorado Rocky Mountain School the best of luck. It is our hope that our combined efforts will educate, empower, involve and invest today’s youth to cultivate a better tomorrow.”
The Colorado Rocky Mountain School Organic Garden Learning Center is a great asset to not only the school and our students, but the community as well. CRMS is committed to teaching our students and other community members how to grow and harvest organic foods in a sustainable, and energy and water efficient manner. We are thrilled that a national foundation is partnering with us on this project, “ says Linda Halloran, Director of the CRMS Organic Garden Learning Center.
The CRMS Organic Garden Learning Center expansion project will allow the school to double the
amount of food produced to 40% of the produce consumed on campus (30,000 pounds annually),
while decreasing the school’s carbon footprint. For more information go to www.crms.org
