Baldwin Elementary Nutrition Advisory Council & Wellness Garden
Great to work with the #Baldwin Elementary NAC (Nutrition Advisory Council) students the last two weeks: student painted stepping stones with inspirational quotes they installed in the wellness garden and planted more spring veggies and flowers in the pollinator garden. Also found a bunch of butterfly chrysalis in the garden. Looking forward to how all this new life will look in the near future!

Baldwin Garden Work Day
We were overwhelmed by the 50+ parent, student, and staff support for our big work day to help expand and improve the student garden at Baldwin Elementary. Additional thanks to the Sprouts Alhambra team members who came to support one of their garden grantees for 2025. We are well on our way to improving the physical and mental wellbeing of the Baldwin school community!
