WITS Labs—Classroom Education
WITS Labs have helped to increase
parent engagement. I've seen some
parents this year that I've never seen
before. Students' self esteem is
boosted when parents come in and
they can showcase their work.

Green for Kids—Garden
In WITS schools, kids are:
• Eating more potatoes and
strawberries after WITS Labs
• Reducing screen time and are
more active as a result of Coach
for Kids
• Eating more vegetables!

We share common goals
Better food and getting kids to move in school bumps up test scores
by 20% - I don’t know any fancy education trick that can achieve that.
