2. Can we collaborate with Local Farmer's Market at Felicia Mayhood on Sundays so that the school can sell organically-produced veggies and fruits grown on campus?
3. Can we support the new approach to RE-THINKING SCHOOL LUNCH (Center for Ecoliteracy / Edible Schoolyard Model through this afterschool program?
4. What additional funding will this collaborative project involve? If funding is needed, where will we get it?
