The National Farm to School Network has some great webinars coming up...
Along
with abundant opportunities for learning and fun, outdoor classrooms come with a
unique set of challenges, particularly in relation to classroom management. How
do I focus students' attention on the lesson when the squirrels are dropping
walnuts from the tree? How do I convince 30 students that the garden is a
learning environment and not a space for extra recess time? Whitney Cohen, Life
Lab’s Education Director, will use stories, photos and discussion to share
tried-and-true tips for managing large groups of students in an outdoor
environment.

Your
school garden is growing, your lunch line is local, and your community's health
and economy are improving thanks to farm to school. But if you don't learn how
to tell your story in a concise, compelling way, interest in your program could
stagnate. Maintain momentum for farm to school within your community through
media relations, funder outreach and community partners with persuasive success
stories. The National Farm to School Network's communications staff, Chelsey
Simpson and Stacey Malstrom, will offer simple best-practices and easy tips for
sharing your story and finding your audience. The 20-minute presentation will be
followed by a Q&A session.

Although
the Child Nutrition Act (known as CNR) isn't set to expire until September 30,
the action in D.C. is happening now, and we need your help. Join us to learn how
farm to school legislation is progressing as part of CNR and what you can do to
help make sure farm to school gets the support it needs from Congress! We will
cover actions that anyone can take to join the effort and become an effective
advocate for farm to school. The 20-minute presentation will be followed by a
Q&A session.
