Bonsall Education Foundation (BEF) has partnered with Urban Corps of San Diego to establish a recycling program to help fund the Garden at Bonsall Elementary. Urban Corps of San Diego partners with schools throughout the county to provide recycling services and education about the environmental benefits of recycling. Urban Corps of San Diego will provide us with recycling pick up service, sort it at their facilities and deliver it to a recycling center for the cash return value (CRV). Bonsall Elementary receives ALL the cash return value (CRV) back from Urban Corps and all funds earned will help fund the BEF Bonsall Sprouts Garden!  For more information about Urban Corps of San Diego, visit their website:

Garden Update

After only 11 months of planning, fundraising and constructing, we are thrilled to announce that the BES garden has been growing wonderful vegetation, such as lettuce, green beans and tomatoes that are now making their way into the cafeteria to be served at lunch to the students.

The BEF Garden Committee at Bonsall Elementary is currently looking for volunteers to help with the garden throughout the year. Parents can sign up in their classroom or email Rachel Thomas, BES Garden Committee Chairperson at racheldee11@gmail.com. Classes will start pulling out old plants and getting their class beds ready for fall planting. J.R. Organics is donating lettuce, kale and swiss chard star ts, sugar snap peas, carrots and other seeds to plant. Additionally, this year we will begin composting soon with compost bins as well as worm bins.
