Osborne Elementary School Garden

We are a growing outdoor classroom for kids in K-5 in Sewickley, PA.

Hale Kipa

All of the youth Hale Kipa serves have suffered trauma in one form or another, mostly through abuse, neglect or both. These traumatized youth suffer in school, in social circles and have been involved in the juvenile justice system. Many of these youth have dropped out of school or are far behind their peers, have had little positive adult influences in their lives and their health and health behaviors are poor. Hale Kipa has just launched an educational program to help these youth catch up with their classwork -- or reengage -- while they are in our shelters.

Good Food for Oxford Schools

Good Food for Oxford Schools (GFOS) is an initiative of the Oxford School District in Oxford, Mississippi to improve cafeteria menus and simultaneously educate students and their families.

Overseen by the Food Services Department of the Oxford School System, GFOS leverages “farm to school” principles to bring local farm produce into school cafeterias that serve more cooked-from-scratch and fresh menu items.

Working in the classroom with students, and with families after school, GFOS teaches the importance of a nutrient-rich diet that utilizes local foods when available.

Billy Mitchell Elementary School

Billy Mitchell Elementary School is one of eight schools in the Lawndale Elementary School District, Los Angeles County, California. We are continuously evolving our curriculum and instructional program to meet the needs of our students. A reflection of that is in our garden and nutrition program. All of our students are the stewards of this garden under the guidance and supervision of our Master Gardener and parent and community volunteers. Experience has taught us that student ownership of a garden is a key to success.
