Upper Elementary

Spartan Garden

 The Maine - Endwell Spartan Garden was founded and formed by teachers, students in grades 3rd - 6th grade and their parents.  It is a donated lot near our school.  We have 1 year of experience and are planning to expand our space by doubling this summer.  We plant, weed, water, grow and pick all of the vegetables.  The veggis are then donated to all the families in need on our food pantry delivery route.  All of the familes on the food pantry delivery route have students within the district.  

Scotchtown Hills Elementary School

We want to create a garden where each grade level can plant and grown vegetables and fruits. This will not only teach students live long skills, but it will be a fun experience for everyone.

Noble Garden Club

Our school is demographically and socio-economically challenged.  Students do not understand the idea of healthy organic options for their diet.  If we can create a program to educate our students, they will be healthier and smarter students who are motivated to come to school and learn something different other than the normal curriculum, while they can take this with them to their homes and beyond.

North Powder Farm To School

North Powder Farm to School is located in Eastern Oregon. We coordinate Farm to School activities such as tastings and cafeteria meals using Oregon Harvest of the Month ingredients.

We have challenging weather conditions with a short growing season of 90 days, but have had success!

Cooking with Kids, Inc.

Cooking with Kids motivates and empowers elementary school students to make healthy food choices. Through hands-on nutrition education activities, kindergarten through 6th grade students explore, prepare, and enjoy fresh, affordable foods from around the world. A 5th grader says it best: “Do you know what the passion of food is? It’s the way the food smells and tastes – it’s the food that I like!”
