Colonial Hills Elementary Schools is helping refugee children newly arrived in the U.S. succeed by providing resources and support.

SAN ANTONIO – Welcome to Colonial Hills Elementary School where seeds have been planted at this Northeast Independent School District campus inspiring students to develop green thumbs. There are 22 garden beds at Colonial Hills where the students plant, harvest and deliver produce straight to the cafeteria. All the fresh produce is inspiring these fifth-graders to cook more and it's something they can be proud about. From salsa to fall apple cinnamon-infused water, the students at Colonial Hills are learning healthy recipes while bonding together in the CHEF, a Culinary Health Education for Families program.
