"Growing Together" Network Kick-Off

All materials and other resources from the August 6 "Kick-Off" meeting can be found below.

August 6, 2014

BECAUSE WE SAID WE WOULD!

Picture
At the beginning of each school year, representatives of all of our member schools and agencies gather as a community to plan educational experiences that will enhance academic achievement while meeting real community needs. This year's inspiration was Alex Sheen, founder of the "Because I Said I Would" social movement. His nonprofit is dedicated to bettering humanity through promises made and kept. "Because I Said I Would" is a powerful example of how one person can make a difference. On August 6 we reached beyond this one example to ask ourselves . . . "What if that one person is a teacher? Can more than 35 network schools with hundreds of teachers and tens of thousands of students create real change?"

CALL TO ACTION  . . . FOOD FOR THOUGHT: "KIDS AS COMMUNICATORS"

Picture
What would it look like to inspire the next generation while urging our communities to take action against hunger?

Mid-Ohio Foodbank, in partnership with the Growing Together Network and Partnerships Make a Difference, present the sequential service-learning project to last year’s Hunger Art Action initiative.

Through Food for Thought: “Kids as Communicators,” students will act as marketing strategists for Mid-Ohio Foodbank’s newest campaign that engages your friends, family and community as essential sponsors of an important “Get Fresh. Give Fresh.” Produce Market initiative. (More information on ways to get involved will be coming soon.)

What Our Clients Are Saying

"Thoroughly enjoyable. Passion of presenters drove the 3R’s (Rigor, Relevance, Relationships) through activities that help synthesize my learning of PBL and SLP [project-based learning and service-learning projects]. The time spent developing our understanding and creating an action plan for implementation was most helpful." -- Course participant
