Harbor View Elementary School

Harbor View elementary school has always been committed to raising healthy kids. This year we are taking it even a step further and creating the "Fit Mind Healthy Body" initiative. As part of the initiative we as a school community want to add to the four raised beds at HV and expand our garden and get the kids involved in planting, growing, maintaining, and utilizing what they grow in the Harbor View kitchen and the curriculum. We already have a fruit cart and we want to expand our garden to grow what we sell/eat. We want to integrate our garden into our life science activities with some fun hands on learning and conduct math activities while planting. The possibilities and ideas of integrating our garden into every aspect of our school are endless. Additionally, we want to get local farmers/chefs/markets like Whole Food involved, and invite them to come and have a discussion about holistic nutrition and educate our community about all the healthy options and choices.
