Additionally, EnrichLA will be implementing their educational program with the students one day per week, most likely on Mondays. We act as liaisons between EnrichLA and the PTA Executive board for any information that needs to be exchanged between those two entities. It is our position to ensure that EnrichLA and the garden itself have the resources required to function and flourish. It is also our position to relay any concerns or requests between the school, the PTA Executive board, the garden volunteer base, and the room reps and teachers who undertake participation in the EnrichLA educational program. We coordinate an adequate volunteer participation to keep the garden up and running during the school year and summer months. Health and Wellness
