From: The Kitchen Community To: jeevacation@gmail.com Subject: August News: Back to School! Date: Fri, 25 Aug 2017 23:03:17 +0000 EFTA00659071 EFTA00659072 Across the country school is starting back up! More than 250,000 students attend one of our Learning Garden Schools, and this year many kindergartners are experiencing a Learning Garden for the very first time. Imagine a kindergartner who, in her very first year at school, learns how to use her five senses to explore her Learning Garden. As a second grader she'll plant seeds in that garden and watch them grow, and as a fifth grader she'll learn to prepare healthy recipes using her garden harvest. When we dream big, we dream of that little girl going on to a middle school where she can help plan a fall garden and later attending a high school where she can grow produce for her school's farm stand. For that girl, and for kids like her everywhere, we want going to school to always mean going to a school with a Learning Garden. We work every day to make that dream a reality. That's just one of the reasons we're so excited about this school year. Not only are we planning to build more Learning Gardens than ever before - ensuring that more kids get to have a real food education, but we're also getting ready to unveil a big surprise. We can't wait to share it with you, we think you're going to love it! EFTA00659073 Today, the students at Northglenn High School are receiving a special back to school gift - a brand new Learning Garden made possible by a generous gift from the Morgridge Family Foundation! The Morgridge Family Foundation "funds innovative projects that elevate the teaching profession, while directly impacting the students' engagement and achievement in the classroom." Northglenn's garden features more space than a typical elementary or middle school garden, larger beds to accommodate even larger harvests, and work tables, all of which facilitate our flagship High School program: Real Food Lab. Thanks to the Morgridges' generosity, Northglenn is on track to be Colorado's first Real Food Lab school where students will explore entrepreneurship and local food systems through the lens of EFTA00659074 their Learning Garden.

Even the threat of thunderstorms didn't put a damper on The Kitchen Community's second annual national fundraiser - Neverland Garden: A Glamour Fairytale Party! Guests arrived in fantastical Peter Pan inspired outfits to enjoy an evening of magic and mischief high in the Rocky Mountains. First treated to a surprise aerial show from professional stunt performers JT Holmes and Jeff Provenzano, guests enjoyed a special private performance by the legendary Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead before adjourning to a delicious family style meal. We are humbled to report that for us, the most magical part of the night came when guests contributed a staggering $1.5 Million to our Learning Gardens, ensuring that more students across the country are connected to real food than ever before - now that's one real food happy thought! Thank you to everyone who joined us in Neverland! To see photos from the event, visit our page here.
