Hello,

I am wondering if any Farm to School coordinators on this list who work in large Title I districts and are involved in school gardens would be interested in connecting?  Looking for colleagues with similar districts across the country.

Thank you!

I am also interested (althoughI am not at a large District).  I am at the School District of Bayfield, a small rural district in WI, serving Native youth.  Looking forward to connecting with folks. 

Thanks!

I am a garden facilitator in Pittsburgh, currently none of my projects are Title 1 schools but we will be going after funding this year to get a garden or two going in a title 1 district.  Would love to be included in brainstorming!

Just wanted to chime in and share another opportunity for Farm to School coordinators working in school gardens to connect. My colleague Lily shared it to this list a few days ago but KidsGardening is hosting a webinar in January to discuss a school food gardens survey/report and then we're creating a subcommunity on the Kids Garden Community specifically for educators working in school food gardens. 

The subcommunity will be a dedicated space to connect (just like you're doing here!) and will include webinars, coaching calls, resources, etc.

There's more info here and you can sign up to be notified when the subcommunity launches. Please share with others in your networks/programs who aren't on the SGSO list!
