All proceeds will benefit Slow Food Katy Trail's Slow Food-in-Schools projects. Even though we don't tout these important projects nearly often enough (we're too busy actually getting them done!), we do want you to know the great things we are doing with schoolchildren to raise their local-food awareness. Please see our blog (http://slowfoodkatytrail.blogspot.com/2009/05/sfkt-connects-local-children-with-local.html) to get a taste of all we've accomplished during the last year with Lee Elementary School third graders. We are continuing the program this year, as well as providing snacks to all the children at West Boulevard Elementary during MAP testing for seven days in April.

Do you work with other elementary schools or just Lee?
Our plan is to work with another school next year; in addition, we're meeting with a representative of a third school this month to help them develop a similar program. We worked with Lee two years, and we hope to work with the next school two years, then move to another. We'd love to help all at once, but we are an all-volunteer organization so it is difficult to assist more than one school at a time.
