Eiber Elementary School

Over 90% of Eiber elementary students are eligible for federally assisted lunch and many live in apartments or motels. An immediate goal is providing these children, their families and other Eiber residents with healthy food, outdoor activities, exercise, and the development of gardening and cooking skills by pairng them with community volunteers who have these skills and/or available tools and resources. Our goal is to have the community garden be a community focal point which will integrate and bind all community members, promote volunteerism, develop community leaders, and help educate and integrate Eiber families into the larger community. We want to use the garden for hands-on science, nutrition, and physical education by using Denver Urban Gardens
