#Familyhood defines the school in any community as the nucleus for community development and orchestrates an intergenerational approach to increasing community sustainability.
#Familyhood is driven by two mottos: Friends of school and Mo’ Better Food.
# Friends of school states
“every school shall have a Student Government Association, Parent Teacher Assocation and Alumni Association.”
Mo Better Food states,
“every school shall have a garden, a farmers market and a grocery store.”
The “do now” strategy to advance schools towards #Familyhood is called #1stSaturdays.
