"Chefs Move to schools program will pair chefs with schools in their communities to bring fun to fruits and vegetables, and teach kids about food, nutrition and cooking in an engaging way. And that "by working with school food service employees, administrators and teachers, chefs can help deliver these messages from the cafeteria to the classroom."

Calling all chefs (or share with a chef)...

The White House has recently launched a new program "Chefs Move to Schools" as part of the Let's Move Campaign. This program provides an opportunity for chefs around the country to adopt a local school and work with teachers, parents, school nutritionists and administrators to help educate kids about food and nutrition, as part of the larger effort to solve the childhood obesity epidemic within a generation.

In March, John was part of a small team of chefs who met with White House Assistant Chef Sam Kass and representatives of the USDA and Share Our Strength at the White House to plan Chefs Move to Schools.
