Healthy Food Helps Our Bodies!

Funded May 30, 2014

The students have absolutely enjoyed using the Garden Heroes fruits and vegetables! They were very excited as soon as they received the resources and could not wait to get to use them. They must have asked me at least 30 times before our end of the day science lesson, 'Are we going to use our new fruits and veggies NOW?' You can imagine how thrilled they were once we started our lesson that day.

We have used the Garden Heroes and 'Our Body' readers for several hands on activities that taught about how to keep our body healthy. We have used them for a hands-on fruit and vegetable sorts, made our favorite foods graphs, and even sampled different types of fruit to find some new favorites.The readers provided excellent nonfiction resources to enrich the healthy foods lessons.

The new resources you helped provide with your generous and selfless donations have been an absolute blessing to our class. Thank you again for allowing us to purchase such great resources to help teach my students!”

With gratitude,
