Paper Plates for Pelosi Campaign
Posted on | September 29, 2009 | No Comments
Volunteer to become a school coordinator for SFSFC’s inaugural campaign, Paper Plates for Pelosi!
The message and the task are simple.
This year (or early next), Congress will decide how much money to allocate to the National School Lunch Program. More money means better food for kids, plain and simple. Our goal is to remind Speaker Nancy Pelosi how much her leadership on this issue count. We know that children deserve improved school food in order to be healthy and to be better students. What better messengers than the kids themselves?
Parents! Circulate the attached flyer to teachers at your school and request that they do a classroom art activity decorating a paper plate with two simple messages to Speaker Pelosi. Any teacher who submits entries from 15 or more students will be entered into a drawing to win a $75 VISA gift card.
Teachers! Make this paper plate art and letter-writing project a classroom activity. Ask all of your students to let Speaker Pelosi know how important healthier food is to their education.
All plates need to be returned to the school coordinator by November 6, 2009.
The top 13 entries – our Baker’s Dozen – will be turned into a poster and sent to California’s Congressional delegation, First Lady Michelle Obama, and President Obama! All paper plates will be hand-delivered to Speaker Pelosi’s Distirct Office in San Francisco.
