K-12 Food Rescue Student Leader Hanna Wondmagegn's first of many television interviews WSOCTV in Charlotte NC.
On May 4th, Food Rescue presented a national webinar for the USDA. Our partnership with the USDA is a tremendous value in spreading the K-12 Food Rescue Revolution across the country. Thanks USDA for supporting and promoting school food recovery efforts. Students just crack us up at Food Rescue! They tell the school food waste story and solution so much better than anyone else. This one will go into our student videos link! Thanks Connersville and Fayette County Schools for playing a leadership role in saying no to the insanity of school food waste! Check out this amazing video! The Andover School District in MA and the work of Carina Schusterman and Claire Stocker has inspired the North Andover School District in MA to jump on board the K-12 Food Rescue revolution! Superintendent Dr. Jennifer Price is even the spokesperson in this video! |

Our new system has been working for us up here in Alaska. From the first day it was a hit!!! I was expecting some resistance from teachers who don't care to have food in the classrooms and also problems with garbage on the playground but.....none so far. The high school "hungry boys" love finding the fixings for PB & jelly sandwiches from the K-5 crew. A huge problem, that I cannot fix at this time is the recess timing. It IS after lunch and a LOT of kids will come in and dump their trays just to get outside. Maybe next year. All in all... it was welcomed as a great idea and the school news crew is going to be doing a section on your program...hopefully before school closes for the summer but if not we will be off to a great start next year. We are out the 27th of this month. I'm currently working on getting a summer food program started because I know a lot of our kids do not get to eat well at home. This has only been my 2nd year running the kitchen and I've made MANY changes to our waste problem. I've been in contact with a member of the Sustainable Southeast group that is working on a partnership with the tribal authority to help run an aquaponics site. Also...UAS in Sitka is doing a study on using recycled cardboard to grow mushrooms!!!! He is getting me that contact info soon. I'm soooo excited because mushrooms are seriously my passion!!! I'm already setting up to grow shiitake and other gourmet (but really medicinal) mushrooms at home using alder that has already been dropped around the island. I'm also going to set up at the school to sell and actually make money with our lunch program. I'm looking forward to working with K-12 Food Rescue your fabulous project and help change the habits of our locals. Please feel free to contact me with any more info you may have or just to check on our progress.
Sincerely, Tricia Clough |
