Aikin students grow fresh produce in Tower Garden

Students at Aikin Elementary School are using a Tower Garden to grow fresh produce. The vertical, aeroponic growing system allows up to 20 vegetables, herbs, fruits and flowers to grow in less than three square feet. 

Aikin parent volunteer Lindsey Harper spearheaded the effort to install the Garden on behalf of Paris Garden Study Club. Aikin Parent Association provided grow lights. Through this initiative, students learn the importance of eating fresh fruits and vegetables. Students have eagerly monitored the growth for three weeks and were excited to see the first harvest.

Quick Tip Information

Quick Tip is a support system that allows students to communicate with school administrators. While the district already has many programs to help students deal with challenges such as bullying behaviors, stress, peer pressure, and family problems, Quick Tip helps break the code of silence often experienced by students because it allows them to report concerns to administrators anonymously.

Submit from App
SchoolMessenger Quick Tip app is available for both iOS (iTunes App Store) and Android devices (Google Play). Download SchoolMessenger Quick Tip App. When launching the app for the first time, you will be prompted to enter the school district code. The school district code is paristx.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is not a crisis line. In cases of emergency, the site will direct students to call 911!
