Garden
Engelhard Elementary was selected to be part of a program that teaches strategies to encourage our students to make good decisions regarding their health. The Engelhard Elementary School vegetable garden was created in the spring of 2011. The garden offers numerous opportunities for students to learn about healthy eating, increase physical activity, and make connections across the curriculum.
There are three raised garden beds located in the back of the school. Seasonal crops are planted and maintained by students. The Engelhard communtiy is excited to participate in this healthy, academic, and fun project!
