A logo designed to represent NYC, education, healthy food, and families (big and little “apples”). Two colors: red and green both stand out as “healthy colors”. The check–mark symbol is carried through the design as students “check–off” ingredients in their grocery list.
This campaign called “From Class to Kitchen” is an educational assignment that will be tested first in a Harlem public school system. Designed for 5th graders, it is an assignment given during “Health Week” to complete one of two healthy meal recipes of their choosing from this packet. Ingredients are provided by City Harvest and donated by local resturants and marketplaces. Ingredients will be brought to the school’s kitchen the day of preparation to ensure freshness and not take up refridgeration storage. Students of similar reciepe selection will split up into two groups and follow cooking instructions ( provided in packet ) under teacher’s and a “personal” school’s chef’s supervision and assistance. Different parts of preparing the food will be assigned to each student and cooking will be demonstrated by a chef. After cooking the meal, the groups are encouraged to share what they prepared and get to enjoy two healthy meals in replace of the normal cafeteria’s lunch that day!
This project not only teaches students how to make healthy meals, but also how to use appropriate kitchen tools, how to work together, and to share exciting food together! Other information that could be included in this packet are things like a magnetic paper-pad grocery list, designed for children to stick on their frridge and take with them while planning and shopping for healthier options. The recipe section could also be extended into a seperate recipe book for more suggested healthy options and a place for kids to fill out their own recipes!
