Steve Ritz: food insecurity - gardening; class attendance 43% to 93% 3 min. video

His school had lots of poverty and *lots* of really hungry kids. So he decided to create a curriculum around healthy eating and gardening — and hasn't looked back since.

His class attendance went from 40% to 93%. Because of a garden?

It's amazing what accomplishing something can do for a kid's self-esteem.
