Garden programs in elementary schools have increased over time, but there is room for wider implementation, particularly at schools serving lower-income students. Given the role of childhood in establishing food preferences and dietary consumption habits, such programs are important and can reinforce the messages imparted through nutrition education.

In this paper, I explain the design and implementation of an e-newsletter created to engage grandparents with public schools.  A brief literature review, the process for creating the e-newsletter, and my data collection methods are explained.  The conclusions and implementations offered provided insight into how public schools can engage grandparents as important members of their school communities.
