Because of that week, not only was my own life changed profoundly through friendships and awakenings, but I'm proud to say that we — and I mean all of us because you have all walked this road with our family — we have partnered with
incredible leaders to build a
school for kids
in earthquake ground zero Port - au - Prince (staffed and run by Haitians), supported a home - based village for trafficked children near the border, built a preschool for early support for these children, supported
schooling and
food programs
in neglected villages decimated by the cholera outbreak, supported pregnant and nursing women with a fantastic maternity centre, and so much more.
It's an
incredible opportunity for
school nutrition professionals in Arizona to learn more about breakfast - in - the - classroom, to hear from their peers who have successfully implementing BIC, and to network with state - level partners as well as the original Partners for Breakfast in the Classroom: Food Research and Action Center (FRAC), the National Association of Elementary School Principals Foundation (NAESPF), the National Education Association Health Information Network (NEA HIN), and the School Nutrition Foundation

The Healthy Hunger - Free Kids Act of 2010 led to
incredible improvements
in our nation's childhood nutrition programs, but upcoming reauthorization of the act could put key provisions ensuring healthy
school food in jeopardy.
On Wednesday we attended two
incredible workshops: Synergizing Efforts to Build National Farm and
Food Education Curricula and Overcoming Barriers to Serving Farm Fresh
Food in Schools.
