Leading the Way to Healthy Living

For the past year Green Valley has collaborated with Ventura Public Health in a partnership to combat childhood obesity and malnutrition. 

The County kindly provided our center with the supplies we needed to get started, and our kids even helped build the planter boxes they would eventually use. All classrooms were involved in planting, watering, harvesting, and eating the vegetables. 

Mr. Luis won the Champion of Health award for his leadership in organizing and maintaining the garden. In addition, Green Valley won the LEAP (Leaders in Eating and Activity Practices) Golden Award from the State of California for how the Green Valley community encourages and models healthy eating and fitness practices. 

Congratulations, Mr. Luis and Green Valley! Thank you for helping bright kids shine!
