Students and staff from John J. Pershing Elementary School are joining with Blue Mesa Grill in Addison for a Community Night fundraising dinner to benefit the school’s learning garden. Blue Mesa Grill will use lettuce, spinach and cilantro, which the students will harvest from their learning garden, to prepare dinner for the Community Night event. The restaurant will donate 25 percent of each bill from the dinner to the REAL School Garden at Pershing.
The event is scheduled for Nov. 15 at 6:30 p.m. at the Blue Mesa Grill located in Addison at 5100 Beltline.
The learning garden at John J. Pershing Elementary School was created in partnership with REAL School Gardens, a Fort Worth-based non-profit organization which partners with high-poverty elementary schools to create learning gardens that grow successful students. The garden features a shaded outdoor gathering area, native perennial plantings for small wildlife habitats, a pond, an earth science station, organic vegetable beds, fruit trees, composting station, rainwater harvesting, and chicken coop.
Everyone is invited to attend and support the student’s learning garden at Pershing.
