FW: Building Healthy Communities Mini-Grant

Dear Michigan Farm to School Network:

Please see the mini-grant RFA through Building Healthy Communities forwarded from MDE (see attachment and link below).

 

If schools apply through this grant and select "Smarter Lunchrooms" they get $1000.  The lessons are taught in a classroom by a teacher (5^th, 6^th, 7^th, or 8^th grade +).

Students create a intervention to increase fruit and veg selection/consumption and decrease food waste. Students measure food waste pre and post and report out to the community their findings.

Here is the full RFA http://buildinghealthycommunities.arewehealthy.com/documents/BHC_SUFSW_C5_RFA_FINAL.pdf

 

Best,

Meagan
