---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Fett, Will <[log in to unmask]> Here’s a cool program for FFA members to get their chapters and communities involved in…**** Nearly one in four children (more than 17 million U.S. children) go hungry at some point throughout the year. *Child Hunger Ends Here* is on a mission to change that, and they are offering a free innovative project-based learning activity that engages students grades 7-12 in learning about and fighting child hunger.**** The program offers a 10-step curriculum guides students through the entire process and along the way they learn about child hunger and build a cause marketing plan that engages their entire community to fight the growing problem. A national contest with great prizes is available for those chapters who succeed the most.**** The curriculum helps define what child hunger is and leads students through current national hunger prevention efforts. The class then engages in a child hunger-fighting initiative by organizing into team to explore cause marketing and create their cause marketing plan. The campaign has two goals: to fight child hunger and educate the public on the food insecurity issue.**** The curriculum pulls together a variety of resources including hunger statistics from Feeding America and current programs such as Schools Fight Hunger.**** Enrolled classrooms/groups* receive classroom/group access to USA TODAY’s electronic edition* for project research. Winning team members and teacher each receive an* iPad 2* and a winning classroom a celebratory luncheon. Contest rules apply.**** Interested yet?
