Happy MLK Jr. Day! This quote reminds us of the importance of advocating for a better food systems future. When our food system is strong, healthy, and grounded in community, so are our lives.
Here`s some ideas for how your classroom can become food advocates in your school community:
🌱Organize a food drive for a local food pantry
🌱Research the school lunch menu for a week and create advertisements to promote the options available at school
🌱Write a letter to thank the workers at a local grocery store, bodega, market, or farm
🌱Produce informational posters, flyers or pamphlets sharing information about a food advocacy project (e.g., running a food drive with a local food pantry within the larger school community)
🌱Prepare a grocery list for the family that supports nutrient-dense food choices
🌱Create a meal from local foods to share with the community outside of school
