That's going to be the name of the program. "Farm to School in the Classroom." Right now things are slow but moving forward slowly. We really can't implement much until the administrators are back in the schools in preparation for the school year to begin. We have a ton of people to talk to, meetings to have, things to plan out and brainstorm, things that need to be written and created, etc. I'll be starting on that in the next couple weeks. I think I need to move to Jackson for a whole week, to really get some of this stuff going.
Right now it feels like an extraordinary amount of work to do in just a little over a month's time. But, we'll get there. This weekend I'll be working on creating a survey to be sent out to the parents in Jackson. It's a research project I wanted to conduct to get an idea of where families stand currently, as far as their own and their child's nutritional habits at home. I'll be very eager to send that out and get some feedback to analyze. I wrote an article last week for VegNews Magazine, a publication by the VegMichigan organization. In it I had the opportunity to discuss the Farm to School Program and ask for volunteers to help out. Hopefully they approve and publish that soon.
