Anza School Kids Garden:
The El Cajon Collaborative took the lead and worked with the Cajon Valley Union School District and school principal, Cynthia Knight to build a garden at Anza Elementary School. The garden will be a great addition to the school day, allowing the students the opportunity to plant vegetables and sample them. The kids were so excited to get their hands in the dirt and learn about the different varieties of fruits and vegetables. Along with the garden, students will learn about planting and healthy nutrition with a curriculum furnished for the program.
Our wonderful sponsors included funding from HHSA San Diego, Home-Start, Inc. and IRC. The labor came from volunteers with AXA Insurance and Tony Gomez Tree Service. Planning and purchasing was assisted by CASA in El Cajon. A Ribbon Cutting Ceremony was held on December 11th with many of the sponsors and volunteers in attendance along with several classrooms of students. The kids had a great time sampling lots of different vegetables. School gardens will be starting at other elementary schools in the Cajon Valley School District this year.
