Wright County School Gardens

Did you know that Live Wright helped fund many school gardens in Wright County? Recently, a trip was taken to see many of the gardens in the area! Most of the gardens are flourishing with great produce almost ready to be harvested! The school garden gardeners have many great visions of expanding their current gardens. Live Wright is very happy to see many of the gardens doing so well! Good luck to all gardens with the upcoming harvest!

CATCH is catching on in local headstart programs!

 

Health Promotion Coordinator, Sue DeMars, taught 41 very energetic staff from Tri-Valley Headstart in Monticello about a Coordinated Approach To Child Health (CATCH) Early Childhood Physical Activity Training on June 26th, 2015. Many comments were given about the "fun and engaging" presentation. One staff stated, "We will use it inside and outside," while another said, "I liked the 4-two minute segments. That will keep our 3 year olds attention!"  Sue and Tri-Valley Headstart are in the process of setting up times for technical assistance in individual classrooms!
