Briscoe Elementary Seed-to-Plate Nutrition Education™ Program with Recipe for Success Foundation

Since September 2006, 528 children have participated in RFS Seed-to-Plate Nutrition Education™ programming each month.

All the students receive monthly classes in the Recipe Garden and the 4th graders also get a monthly Chefs in Schools™ cooking class with a celebrity chef. Participating RFS Chefs in Schools instructors are: Garth Blackburn, Sub-Zero Wolf (monthly classes since 2008); Barbara McKnight, Catering by Culinaire (monthly classes since 2006); GianCarlo Ferrara, Arcodoro (monthly classes since 2009); Mariquita Combes, La Villette Catering (monthly classes since 2009)

Recipe For Success and Briscoe partner to have a monthly Fun Friday event on 3rd Friday afternoons when the P.E. team provide a fun physical activity and a RFS provides a healthy snack cooking demo.

In June 2010, we offered Eat This! Summer Camp™ for 20 children in the 4th and 5th grades.

The Recipe for Success garden at Briscoe includes a 400 square foot courtyard garden we designed just for the kindergartners and four 15x4 foot raised beds for other grade levels. And the fifth graders are working on a special growing project in two portable garden beds sponsored by "GroPods,"
