Dear Parents:

We applied for and received a grant that is funded through USDA’s food stamp program. Our goal is to increase the amount of fresh fruits and vegetables we serve to your children. We will be trying to use as many vegetables and fruits that the children have grown in our garden as well as purchasing fresh produce from the Farmer’s Market. We have hired a prep cook who will work on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday preparing our healthy snacks. On Fridays, we invite you to join us for snack so you can sample what we are serving. We will also be providing recipes for you to take home.

Also every Friday, from 2:00 – 6:00, the Chapmantown Food & Fitness Festival takes place. It is a year-round Farmer’s Market that is located in front of Chapman school on Cleveland. A free garden produce exchange takes place as well. We hope to take some walks with the children over to the market. You are welcome to come along if you like or check it out on your own.

I have attached a short survey that we will be using for grant purposes. Please fill it out and return it to a teacher in your child’s program.

Thanks! If you have any questions, you can come by the office or call me at 891-5363.
