Kids cannot be expected to show up ready to learn w/out ample nutrition. @BerkeleyUnified is committed to providing all kids w the most delicious & nourishing food. Help us do this by supporting @NancySkinnerCA #FreeSchoolMeals for All Act of 2021

We've been setting up some additional outdoor learning and working environments at Berkeley Unified School District youtu.be/oxKI2gNllgA via @YouTube @livingschoolyrd

Schools are the healthiest source of #nutrition for kids across the country. Thank you @USDANutrition for allowing National School Lunch Program Seamless Summer Option waivers & extending free meals for all through June 2022!

We've harvested herbs, greens, radishes & more from our #schoolgardens just for you! Come by our free BHS #foodpantry today. We're there every 1st & 3rd Tues from 2-4 by the M Gate on Milvia @BerkFoodNetwork @Jacket__Pride

@Skinner4Senate #SchoolMealsforAll bill affects Cali's six million public school students & 77,000 farms/ranches across 58 counties. Here in @BerkeleyUnified we cook all meals from scratch w a focus CA-grown. This bill removes income & stigma barriers to feeding our kids!

This is what distance learning looks like in the garden @BerkeleyUnified missgardenersarah.blogspot.com

We're making Mac n' greens with kale tonight @JohnMuirElementary @BerkeleyUnified Super nutritious and fun for the whole family!

@Asm_Nazarian It is certainly working to improve health outcomes and access here in @CityofBerkeley !

A tax on sugary drinks has been proven to decrease diabetes rates and improve health equity while providing our cities additional revenue to help our COVID-19 response. Special interests should not be dictating policy to our cities. This bill gives power back to the people.

We're in support of California's #SB364 because we believe that every child deserves a nutritious #schoollunch! Thank you @Skinner4Senate @dailycal dailycal.org/2021/02/12/ca-…

What's cooking in your kitchen? Citrus salad!? #seasonal #VitaminC #afterschool #schoolgardens @BerkeleyUnified
