Hey! I am a middle schooler in Kentucky and I think you are a genius. GIVE sounds like a great idea! i read your blog and have been researching a bunch of ways to get it started here in Kentucky. I also sent you an email about getting it started here. thanks again for sharing this ingenious idea!

Hi Pheonix, I'd be happy to send you my initial notice and lots of other info if you'd like it. Actually, much is available on my blog. You may e-mail me at psloane22@gmail.com I'm excited for you. Research. Find a teacher or 2 who will work with you. Get approval from the superintendent of schools. This a volunteer concept. No money, but lots of cooperation. Recycled tools. Get a bunch of kids. Choose a very sunny location. Get someone to donate lumber to build raised beds... Start composting. Start growing. I taught in middle schools for 30 years. Middle schoolers are the BEST!

Can you please send me some links to this program. I would like to send it to my son's middle school to see if they are interested in starting it. I would love to be one of the volunteers. Sincerely, Jay Iyer jayshreeraju@yahoo.com
