  • (From the press release) Today, the First Lady will share a special #GimmeFive garden challenge as part the Let’s Move! fifth anniversary challenge encouraging Americans to #GimmeFive things they are doing to lead healthier lives. The First Lady and the students will plant five vegetables: spinach, bok choy, broccoli, lettuce plants, and radish seeds, and will challenge the kids at the planting along with other kids, schools, and communities across the country to plant these five vegetables in their own gardens. Each student participating in the planting will receive five of their own plants and seeds to take home to start their garden.

President Obama will be introduced by Kiara Molina, a ninth-grader at the Harlem Children’s Zone Promise Academy. Kiara, whose mother and grandmother are both from the Dominican Republic, lives in Harlem and has been with the Harlem Children’s Zone since she was four years old.<br />
 <br />
Stage Participants:<br />
 <br />
Joining the President on stage are students and staff from the Harlem Children’s Zone, the program that served as one of the models for the Promise Zone Initiative. Since 1997, Harlem Children’s Zone has provided free support for the community through new schools, parenting workshops, a pre-school program, after-school programs and child-oriented health programs for thousands of families. The Harlem Children’s Zone offers a comprehensive, neighborhood approach with the goal of breaking the cycle of poverty, so that every child can graduate from college and have a chance to live their dreams. The program currently serves more than 12,300 children from birth through college, including 1,450 students who attend their two Promise Academy Charter schools and more than 9,000 students from traditional public schools. The participants on stage all attend or work at their Promise Academy charter schools.THE WHITE HOUSE<br />
