Back To School

We are building our ‘AINA In Schools (Actively Integrating Nutrition and Agriculture In Schools) teams at each of the ‘AINA schools for the 2010-2011 school year. We are recruiting parent and community docents to teach monthly nutrition lessons for grades 2nd & 6th, and garden lessons for Grades K, 1st, 5th. No experience necessary, and times are flexible! Join us in educating the next generation about how to make healthy food choices and how to grow their own food.
