The Chappaqua PTA Nutrition Committee will sponsor a film and panel discussion on Tuesday, May 20 at 7:30 p.m. at Seven Bridges Middle School, which is located at 222 Seven Bridges Road in Chappaqua. It is free and open to the public. Come with your questions for the panelists.
The evening will begin with a viewing of the film “Two Angry Moms” by Amy Kalafa. The film takes a look at the state of nutrition in U.S. schools and offers ideas on how to improve the nutritional value of the food we serve in the schools as well as ideas on how to raise the nutrition knowledge of our students. It is filled with success stories from around the country and will give viewers some food for thought.
After a welcome by Janet Benton, president of the board of education of the Chappaqua Central School District, the second part of the evening will feature a panel who will discuss ideas raised by the film as well as communicate changes that have been made in the Chappaqua schools this year and what to expect for the next school year. It will also be a forum to generate ideas about future changes that the community feels should be considered.
Panel participants will include John Turenne, food consultant; Geri Brewster, nutritionist; and members of the Wellness Advisory Board. Come and ask questions about what residents can do in the Chappaqua district to raise the nutrition IQ of students.
