To our PFP community,
We hope you are well in these challenging times and we want our students, families, and community partners to know that we are thinking of you. Even though our team can’t carry out our regular educational programs as planned, we are still working hard to support healthy eating, food access, and remote learning in the City of Poughkeepsie. Right this very minute, our educators are:
Partnering with the Poughkeepsie School District to distribute PFP produce and recipe ideas to children and families in our community
Gathering and developing video and print learning resources so students can connect to our curriculum remotely
Ms. Laura Reads Right this Very Minute
Ms. Sonya Reads Charlotte and the Quiet Place
Planning and tending to educational gardens at Poughkeepsie schools and on the farm to ensure accessible sources of fresh and healthy food for our students
Continuing to develop fall programming and curriculum for the new school year
As we engage in this important work you can be sure that our staff is practicing social distancing and thorough hand-washing, and we recommend that you do the same. We know it can be a struggle to stay positive right now, but we can take strength from each other and come together to support everyone in our community in these unprecedented times.
Be well and take care of each other,
The Poughkeepsie Farm Project Education Team
