Keep fighting!

I hope that you can visit Youth Together at the other high schools and share your experience and knowledge. Good work!

Most looked at me as if I were crazy. A few listened but I think the kind of peer education being done now is most likely the most effective strategy.

Healthy food is a big problem at schools, yet it is so important. Even at Skyline its hard to find healthy meal options. I’m glad someone is doing something about it. Keep up the good work!

(I would also be interested in learning more)

You are so amazing! I had no idea work like this was being done in Oakland. I’m a parent at Glenview Elementary and I would love to learn more about your program. We’re working on starting a composting and garden program and I personally would love to see some real changes in the cafeteria food.

If you ever hold a tour of your school cafeteria or give a workshop, can you please post it here? I know a lot of parents and students would be interested in learning more.

Great work! This is really inspiring!!

Best,
Paula
