Fairyland Elementary School on Lookout Mountain, Ga. is officially kicking off a Capital Campaign Project to raise money for a new state-of-the-art STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) Aquaponics floating greenhouse and aquaponics center on their school pond. The school is going to uniquely raise money using the website
Crowdrise.com for a more global reach.
"This one-of-a-kind structure will be built to provide students with a facility to innovate and learn about self-sustaining ecosystems.
Students will develop the skills necessary to grow, harvest, and sell completely organic fruits, vegetables, and fish and work to give back to its community though the profits raised. Students will also learn to develop a business plan to not only sell their produce and fish but also market and brand them with the assistance from our art teacher," officials said.
Fairyland School is looking for businesses and donors to partner with the school to raise $150,000. Different giving levels with incentives are available for each donor with the intention of breaking ground in March of 2017.
