The presentation of Japanese food is a distinctive art form, and also quite nutritious. Why not petition for an art and poetry class focused on Japanese food preparation/presentation while doing Haiku!? You could eat your art for lunch and live longer, especially if you’re no longer tempted to leave campus for lunch!

That’s awesome Bryant!! Poetry and Art were meant to be much more than just entertainment, but a lens through which to explore and discuss the greater world. I love your initiative and if you need help, please let us know. If you haven’t met Julio yet, I think he would be a great resource.

Peace,

Carlos

You’re absolutely right about the goals of school and Life will surely benefit from your vision. Looking forward to seeing your leadership!

Bryant….I couldn’t agree more with your philosophy that art is a great way to build a community. Spoken word/poetry is a powerful way to get messages out and for people to express themselves with one another, building a sense of community. I’d love to talk with you and hear more about your ideas of building community at Life.

Peace.

My thoughts on improving your school lunches – free advise is always worth what you paid for it – are to look at the post below yours, “Hey that’s my Honeydew mellon!” and see if you can get your school to the top of the list for adding a salad bar. And see if you can get a school gardening project, a la Alice Waters’ Edible School Yard project in Berkeley.

I don’t know how you’d do either of those things, but I think you’re a smart and high-energy guy, and if it’s possible at all, *you* can find out how and make it happen.

And good luck with the poetry club! That’s awesome.

That’s awesome, Bryant! I agree, we need to work more at this school about building community and having more ways to have students interact on a non-academic level. I’m here to support you if you need it!
