Yes, we've discussed the lunch menu at PPS before. So we're very happy for this opportunity to join a broader community conversation on the subject. This is one issue that already has some traction, mamas. It's great to see that this important topic is on someone else's front burner, so to speak, not just ours. I still haven't recovered from learning that PPS spends $1.10 per lunch. And I am still trying to picture me buying lunch ingredients for that price. Anyway.
Here's an opportunity to join a movement in action, share your views and learn what's already in the works. With any luck, by the time our kids are scarfing their lunches down in the 20 minutes they get, there'll be more than hot dogs and cold beets on the plate! Here's how the sponsors, EcoTrust Food & Farms and Portland Culinary Alliance, describe the event:
Oregon is the first state in the nation with full-time farm to school coordinators in both the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Education, demonstrating our commitment to farm to school and school garden efforts. What’s in store for the future?
Join us for a community conversation with these key leaders in farm-to-school and school garden efforts:
- Cory Schreiber, Dept. of Agriculture Farm to School Coordinator
- Joyce Dougherty, Dept. of Education Director of Child Nutrition Programs
- Michelle Ratcliffe, Ecotrust’s Farm to School Manager
- Moderating the panel discussion is Oregon Representative Brian Clem.
Sunday, April 13, 4–6 p.m.

I opine that to get the loan from banks you should present a great reason. But, one time I have got a short term loan, just because I wanted to buy a house.
