Eat your veggies: Plant the seeds of healthy eating
If kids can have a hand in growing their own vegetables, they are more likely to eat them. That's the thinking behind the new Farm to School initiative, powered by DEF with a $10,000 grant secured from Kaiser Permanente.

Many supporters make
the Art of Books a success
More than 200 people helped us raise $2,000 for the I Love to Read Book Fund, which puts good books in the hands of children who might otherwise not have them. Special thanks to event partner Little Shop of Stories and generous sponsors Cakes & Ale, Sun in My Belly, Bloom and Victory Brewing Company.
History
Kids breathe life
into history
With the help of a $1,300 grant from DEF, about 60 students from three social studies classes at Oakhurst Elementary performed a "Living Museum" as they told about Georgia's physical landscape, Native American cultures, and historical figures.
