Rock Run Elementary

The goal of the Rock Run School Garden is to help improve community health through a collaborative educational effort surrounding the establishment of a new garden.

Objectives include:
1) Increasing access to and understanding of fresh fruits and vegetables,
2) Creating an authentic learning environment for students and teachers, and
3) Improving healthy food awareness in the community, especially among lower resourced and rural populations.

The grant will help us have the capability to reach out to an extended community and improve access to and knowledge of fresh whole foods in rural Iowa communities.
