Comments on: Time for Lunch – A Campaign to bring Real Food to Schools http://www.thepranamama.com/time-for-lunch/ Wed, 01 Feb 2012 02:47:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: thepranamama http://www.thepranamama.com/time-for-lunch/comment-page-1/#comment-107 thepranamama Tue, 08 Sep 2009 17:19:44 +0000 http://thepranamama.com/?p=571#comment-107 Well, The PranaMama officially overbooked herself. Over the weekend, I had lots of plans and lots of confusion about the who, what, when, where and why of each event. In the confusion, I switched my family's day trip to Boston twice, and when it finally fell on Monday, Labor Day, the Time for Lunch event completely slipped my mind. After a long but fabulous day wandering around the city, we finally arrived home, put the kids to be late, and plunked down on the couch around 9:30. It was at that time that I had realized I had completely forgotten about the Time for Lunch event I was so looking forward to and had publicized so on this blog. My sincere apologies - just one more example of how we try to cram so much in to our lives and do everything everyone else asks or needs, we often forget our own needs.

That is AWESOME - just one more reason why our local elementary school is so great! As you know, I'm a newbie parent this year at the school, so I didn't know about their food and recycling programs. Of course, I am a big fan of Yoga4Classrooms, and hope that your program will reach my child's class sooner than later! Until then, my daughter and I are scheduling a weekly yoga practice, just the two of us, while baby brother naps. I can't wait to get started next week when school is in full swing for her.

I just signed the petition and hope to learn more soon... Our local school here in S. Berwick, ME does a pretty good job at bringing in local fruits and veggies whenever they can. Their recycling program was developed by 3rd graders wanting to BE the change they wanted to see - so amazing, that they've practically eliminated the need for dumpsters! That combined with their use of our Yoga 4 Classrooms (www.yoga4classrooms.com) program, proves that health and wellness is a majority priority at Central School. More can be done for sure, and with parents like us involved, it's only sure to get even better! Thank you so much for bringing this organization to my attention – they are doing incredible work.
