Our mobile movie night at a local motel where many of our unhoused families are currently residing was a blockbuster hit! Way to go to our Homeless Education Services Program staff for pulling together popcorn, hot food, blankets, and entertainment for our wonderful unhoused students and their caregivers.
This week, Food Literacy Center hosted a series of pop-up kids holiday farmers markets at Woodbine, Susan B. Anthony, and James Marshall. Students shopped for produce with veggie bucks, and learned about new vegetables they had never tried before! All the students took home big bags of fresh produce to their families for the holiday season.
