[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SWS has a garden and chickens and the students use the food to make their own lunches once a month. Big whoop, Janney.[/quote]

Foodprints is also active at Peabody/Watkins, Ludlow Taylor, Tyler, and Francis-Stevens.  It's a great program which incorporates both the growing and food prep into the curriculum through science, math, art, etc.[/quote]

I live in AU Park and have never heard of these schools, except for Stevens.  Is that where Amy Carter went briefly?[/quote]

OK . . . they're all schools which figure out a constructive way to integrate gardening with learning rather than a commercial good.  Seriously Janney -- you can't figure out a better use for produce, eggs and honey than [i]selling[/i] it?  Is Janney hard up for funds?  [b]Is the $650/child too tough an ask?[/b][/quote]

I think it is. Lots of freeloaders at Janney, looking at the percentage per grade of parents who do actually contribute to the PTA funds. Not everybody contributes, and those who contribute are probably not giving $650/child.[/quote]
