Even in the rain, a team of volunteers from Atmos Energy continued to turn soil to build a learning garden at an Arlington elementary school last month, all to help young people learn the benefits of growing and eating fresh fruits and vegetables and to promote a lifetime of healthy habits. The garden build at Wimbish World Language Academy was the first official partnership between Texas Health’s North Texas Healthy Communities (NTHC) and Arlington ISD, thanks to generous support from Atmos Energy.

Students at Frederick Douglass Elementary School in Dallas could barely contain their excitement earlier this month as they entered a room filled with hundreds of books—with stories of adventure and new worlds to explore, knowing they could choose one of their very own to take home and read with their families.
