Hello! Welcome to the official blog for Oakland International High School's Community Garden and Wellness Program! My name is Liza Jade Richheimer. I am one of the founding teachers at OIHS. This year thanks to a generous family foundation, I am lucky enough to be the coordinator of the Community Garden and Wellness Program.
My goals for the program are: to build and grow on-site gardens with students through science classes and after-school programs, to run after-school bike club twice a week, to teach a cooking class and a winter yoga class, to support Oakland Unified School District's mission of improving their cafeteria food, and to create a culture of environmental stewardship at our school.

Shoreline Clean Up Day!

On Saturday, September 17th we joined thousands of other folks in California to help clean up the shoreline! 20 students from OIHS volunteered their Saturday to pick up millions of pieces of trash in the hot sun! Every year around the world people do a shoreline clean up day and categorize the garbage that then helps the government make policies around reducing the amount of plastic that is produced. Come join us next year!
