Fresh from their garden to their plates 🌱🍝
Our students are enjoying delicious pesto pasta made with ingredients grown right here in their very own hydroponics garden! From planting to harvesting to tasting—this is hands-on learning at its best.
Growing minds, growing food, and growing a love for learning 💚

Spud Hockey’s own Max Cullen stopped by to visit his former 5th grade teacher, Carrie Hartwig, today!
Max brought along his two state championship medals and shared them with students while signing autographs and talking about the incredible run by the Spuds. The team just captured its second state championship in program history, and did it in back-to-back seasons!
Congratulations again to Max and the Spuds on another historic season, and thanks for visiting! 🏒🥇🥔

🌱 Fresh from the hydroponics garden!
Yesterday, Mrs. Arnold’s class and Mrs. Duncan’s class harvested and tasted the very first produce from their hydroponics setup—fresh lettuce grown right here at Horizon West! 🥬
The students were excited to try something they helped grow themselves, and this is just the beginning. Thry have lots of other veggies growing and can’t wait to taste them soon!
Great work, young gardeners! 🌿
