About the Program: 

Oak Hill Elementary is a Title I, turnaround, and full-service school. We are unique among Title I schools in that our partnership with both Westside Full Service and Team Up allow us to provide our children and their families with all the services they need beyond the academic realm. A school garden will allow us to host after school programs for the families we service focused on healthy eating and home gardening. Additionally, our school serves many special needs children in our six self-contained Communication and Social Skills classrooms. A garden will provide these children with unique sensory experiences and assist teachers in instructing their children about the world around them.
