Our communities must be the sources of their own strength——politically, economically, intellectually and culturally in the struggle for human rights and dignity. Community……is home and it is power.

Final Celebration March 21, 2012

To wrap up and appreciate all of our hard work we made enchiladas, fresh smoothies, and and a grand salad.  The rest of middle school program joined us as well as one of our student’s parents.  We showed our photographs of our Food Communities and played a human size board game of Food Justice.  Some of the spaces were “Drink a Pepsi One.  The diet industry spends $33 billion a year in advertising.  Stay 1 turn” or “Name something you could do to make your community healthier.  Move ahead 3 spaces.”

Thank you to all who were involved.  It has been a growing experience for us all.  Please e-mail me with any comments or questions at annalinck@gmail.com.

Questions to think about…

-What is one thing you have learned as part of the Food Justice Team?

-Is there anything you have shared with family or friends about food justice?

-How will you take what you have learned or done in this club with you in other parts of your life i.e. school, sports, home, food choices etc.?

Today we warmed up by Shaking it Out. Then we worked on choosing some of our photos to display next week, picked titles, and wrote descriptions.  Here are some of the photographs chosen:

“I can grow healthy food”

“Money!!!”

“Don’t freak out! This is only green eggs and ham and milk and bread”
