 Extensions following Project Impac

These items are slated for innovative use and project extension
Examples of these types of items relate specifically to:
❏ Clubs that meet to extend the project’s aims
❏ Further analysis/participation of project with greater community
involvement

 ❏ Printing and publishing a cookbook of students’ recipes, to

be sold as a school fundraiser. PTA will oat the cost, and
Rough estimates to print spiral bound books, 35 pages,
100 copies range from $300.00 to $800.00
❏ Fundraiser to sell the cookbooks: This will also be
organized and funded by the PTA. This is not my
wheelhouse, as I’ve never been a parent or teacher and do
not know how these things happen
❏ Possible eld trip to the Gilbert Farmers Market on a
Saturday AM: Chartering a bus is extremely expensive:
local day trip for 35 people, ~$750.00 per GoGo Charters -
yikes, and not worth the money! Cost of school system
bus is TBD. If it is not affordable, there will not be a eld
trip! If it is reasonable, then funds will be solicited on
Donors Choose, Adopt a Classroom, etc
❏ Alternate event (if eld trip is not feasible): The class will
vote on the best 2 lunch menus, and partner with the
culinary arts class to have the dishes prepared for the 2
classes to have for lunch: costs must be limited to $4.00
per person, and funds and/or food donations will be
solicited from local food stores
❏ Students will put together a slide deck to present to the
PTA documenting the project, and sharing their re ections
on poverty in the US, what they learned about good
nutrition on a shoestring, etc. Cost is zero dollars, since
they will use classroom computers, and the presentation
will utilize instructor’s laptop and the PTA or school’s AV
equipment, or possibly be presented with the assistance of
the school’s AV club, if there is one. If the students want
to team with the culinary class to make snacks or hors
d’oevres for the PTA, funding will be as above, via
donations from local food stores, and limited to $3.00 per
person
