💚 We’re excited to recognize Rancho Elementary as a recipient of the San Diego County Childhood Obesity Initiative (COI) Mini-Grant!
Through this funding, Rancho Elementary will expand opportunities for students to learn, grow, and thrive through hands-on activities that promote healthy habits and inclusive learning. 🌱🐔 From expanding its accessible Sensory Garden to learning about campus chickens and exploring sensory bulletin boards, students will discover where food comes from, practice gardening skills, explore balanced nutrition, and build connections with the natural world.
With accessible garden pathways, raised beds, adaptive tools, and sensory learning resources, these initiatives will help students of all abilities participate, build confidence and independence, and strengthen their sense of belonging within the school community. 💚
