About the Program: 

 ISD 287 is an intermediate school district serving 12 school districts in Hennepin County, Minnesota. I work in the alternative schools. At South Education Center we applied for and were awarded a Bloomington Public Health SHIP grant to build 12 raised garden beds. I entered First Lady Michelle Obama's Recipes for Healthy Kids contest, which I found out about from Bloomington Public Health, and we won the Grand Prize in the nation for our Turkey Porcupine Slider Recipe. We serve a very diverse population of students.
