Roots 4 Kids

Roots 4 Kids program is a part of Annie's Homegrown Organic.  There are online games and more on the webpage that help kids learn more about healthy foods and where they come from.

There are currently running a contest for a school to win a Farm to School Program below is some info from the Roots 4 Kids page.  Be sure to check out the page for full info.:


From April 5 through May 31, Root 4 Kids is calling on schools across America to generate sign-ups for their school at www.Root4Kids.com/join. The school that receives the most sign ups will win its choice of a Farm to School program or school garden.
The Farm to School program prize includes working with a state National Farm to School Network leader to customize a combination of activities that best help students become more deeply connected to real food. Options may include: introductory lessons on where food comes from; farm field trips; meals following a farm visit using vegetables harvested by students; garden sessions in the spring or fall; a “tasting table” featuring a sampling of freshly harvested vegetables; and more.
The school garden prize includes basic supplies, including seeds, soil and select tools, and assistance from a gardening expert to get the garden started.
