Success in Zero Waste and Food Gleaning

Today was my first day back at Micheltorena, I really have some deep love for the school. From the kids to the parents to the “can do” attitude of the principal. She really does listen and try to improve systems. Most importantly for me, I feel heard.

I’ve known for quite a while we were due for a new site manager, now the site manager is one of the hardest positions and having a bad one will really impact the school – having a great site manager with a positive attitude will impact the school and the emotions in a very positive way. We have a new manager and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Today, I saw him and thanked him for his effort. Specifically for being at the lunch line and helping the kids glean their food, recycle their waste and prep the compost.
