CELEBRATE FOOD DAY THIS FRIDAY

Enjoy breakfast with your family, Fri., 10/24, 7:30am @ Cafeteria

Every October 24, thousands of events are organized throughout the country to celebrate, learn about, and enjoy real food. This year, Brookline will hold family breakfasts at all K-8 schools. Students and families are invited to the cafeteria to enjoy oatmeal bars with optional toppings such as raisins, nuts, and real maple syrup.

Food Day is a nationwide celebration and movement toward more healthy, affordable, and sustainable food. Food Day aims to bring us closer to a food system with "real food" that is produced with care for the environment, animals, and families who grow, harvest, and serve it. Please contact Lynne Karsten for more information at lkarsten@brooklinema.gov or 617-730-2336, and check out the Brookline Dept. of Public Health's Facebook page for yummy recipes.
