Candy's Creek Cherokee Elementary

Caleb Shelton and Kelli Nekhela wrote a grant proposal to construct and plant a garden with our students, and the Whole Kids Foundation awarded the grant in the amount of $3,000. The mission of the organization is to improve children's nutrition and wellness with the goal of ending the childhood obesity epidemic. The grant will be used to support an edible educational garden project that will help children engage with fresh fruits and vegetables. Their application was selected from over 1,400 applications received from across the U.S. and Canada
