Farm Fresh Fridays

We need parent and community volunteers to help support the Farm-to-School program. Volunteers are needed to be in all Ann Arbor Public School lunchrooms for the first 9 Fridays of the school year, what we call Farm Fresh Fridays. It is on those days that we will be featuring a fresh fruit or vegetable that was grown on a local farm. In the lunchroom on those days, the purpose of volunteer presencse is to help hand out fresh food samples of the featured item and encouraging students to give it a try! Lunch times vary by building, but volunteers need have availability between 11am-1pm on Fridays this fall. Take a look at our calendar for details about the featured food item every week on Fridays and Wednesdays. For more information about our Farm-to-School program or to find out more about the specifics of being involved this fall contact us. Some examples of items featured in ALL Ann Arbor Public Schools thanks to this collaborative initiative are below. (Clicking on these images will open a new window in www.flickr.com)
