HOW YOUR GIFT HELPS GROW AN ACORN TO A MIGHTY OAK…
Acorns to Oaks operates entirely on contributions from the Garden Hills Elementary community including businesses, charitable foundations, GHES families and alumni.
Improvements planned for the courtyard include:
• Additional seating to accommodate more learning space

• Sensory gardens for STEM lessons and develop responsibility
• Artwork installations that promote the school's IB principles and celebrate the school's diversity

With your support, we are making this vision a reality!
