Kid's are growing lettuce, chard, broccoli, kale and cauliflower. Garden Coordinator Daria Wrubel meets with small groups of students each week and teaches them about the food cycle.

Through hands-on garden classes outside and cooking classes in the multi-purpose room, students are learning healthy eating habits, food science, etiquette, and ecological awareness. Daria and our Chef/Nutritionist Michael Bauce are funded this year by a grant from the California Nutrition Network.

They would like to encourage all T.O. families to join our Nutrition & Garden Program, by expanding our garden and offering more opportunities for our students to learn how to prepare and enjoy mealtime -- at school and at home.
