AISD is lucky to have Whole Foods in our community ! Not only do they provide us with healthy food choices, but they are now offering our community small grants to implement gardens at our schools !
School gardens are a vital
educational tool. Learning about the process of growing food helps children
develop a deep understanding of the connection between healthy eating and a
healthy body. School gardens offer an opportunity to integrate math, science and
health curriculum into a dynamic, interactive setting and provide a base of
knowledge that allows children to take an active role in healthy food choices.
Apply for a School Garden Grant today!
- Applications are due
