M Brown~ when I was talking to the state dietician about available grants she said there are alot of monies presently available if you do school gardens. Mo is a challenge since our growing season is essentially May/June through Oct/Nov. But we (chef's Collaborative Mo) have combined with farmers,SLU dietic dept and chefs to do a series....Grant readers really like collabortion amoung different elements in the community. The State dietician wrote the grant and we just fill in...much easier than having to write it yourself. Many agencies are looking for groups to do what you are doing....
FYI when my children went to school in Baton Rouge the school wanted them to have a covered cup of water with them at their desk.
Many rules defy logic. |
