The s’Cool Gardens Program at Adams Elementary School

The s’Cool Food Initiative envisions the children of Santa Barbara County making healthy food choices throughout their lives.

The s’Cool Food Initiative is a project of the Orfalea Fund. In keeping with its long history of involvement in children’s health and education initiatives, the Orfalea Fund devoted the 2007-2008 school year to conducting a comprehensive, county-wide, school food needs assessment and educational campaign focusing on the connection between school food and the health of the community.

The findings from this assessment resulted in recommendations directed at improving school meal programs while simultaneously improving community health. Many of these recommendations are now being implemented in Santa Barbara County school districts.
