"We are constantly looking for programs that enhance our students' global awareness. Their participation in Garden in Transit has provided an excellent opportunity for them and for our southwest Philadelphia community as a whole. This was a fun and wonderful team building experience for Shaw students. Because of this activity, Shaw Middle School students were featured in several papers as well as in the local news broadcast. This has inspired them to achieve heights that will be recognized and that they can be proud of. This is such an important lesson for our youth."
