Wright County SHIP staff is proud to say that our final grant report, covering work from 7/2009 to 6/2011, was submitted to the Minnesota Department of Health on 8/2/2011! Thank you to all our grantees for all your hard work and completing your reports. You were all amazing partners and advocates for SHIP & Live Wright in Wright County!
Here are some interesting facts about the positive impact we had to support creating healthier communities:
- Provided significantly safer and more secure storage space for students who ride their bikes to school (Monticello School District).
- On the county level, with the plan approval designated roads/bikeways can now be marked appropriately with signs and road markings to make it safe for bicyclists.
- The City of Monticello and Wright County have incorporated interactive maps where users can easily access park and trail data to assist them in enjoying the outdoors.
- Supported 1 acre of community garden in the cities of Buffalo and Monticello, which includes 132 plots/beds for community gardeners.
- Students at Monticello Middle School in the FACS class were able cook with locally grown food 18 days during school in 2010-2011. 7 local farmers provided fresh produce to FACS class.
- Between 2 school garden projects, 146 lbs of produce were grown for school meals and snacks.
Do you have an idea or suggestion to make Wright County a healthier place to live, learn and work?
