Hutchins Elementary School

Programs such as ours are vital in the fight against childhood overweight and obesity. To teach children about the importance of sustaining a healthy lifestyle we are engaged in a city-wide effort to create and maintain community gardens. Gardens serve as important classroom tools during the out-of-school time to teach children how to grow healthy produce and also provide them with the opportunity to eat the fresh produce they helped grow. Our goal is to create gardens at all of our Centers.
