| SCIP Program | | Print | |
The ACF Greater Atlanta Chapter believes in the students of Atlanta and North Georgia and wants to show our support through the SCIP program. The Student Culinary Incentive Program (SCIP) was developed to help students become involved and give them a way to earn their ACF Student Membership and more. Students who participate in monthly meetings, attend chapter events and volunteer their time at chapter fundraisers will be working toward these goals. When students have accumulated 20 hours they will receive a chapter lapel pin and 5 Continuing Education Hours(CEH) that can be used toward certification. At 40 hours students will receive their ACF Student Membership and another 5 CEH. Finally, when reaching 60 hours students will receive a cutting edge culinary book and 5 CEH. When students reach each level they are to bring their SCIP booklet to a chapter meeting where the chapter President or a Board member will verify the hours. If a student is unable to attend the chapter meeting due to work, they are to contact Cheryl Glass, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or 850-556-7736, who will let them know an instructor at their school that can verify their hours. Many students have already begun to work toward meeting these requirements. It is our desire that all students will take advantage of the SCIP program and become involved in the greatest ACF chapter.

In April, we added 54 children to our weekend back pack program ! We are now over 200. Thank you ACF for stirring the water of hunger in Atlanta. It is wonderful how far we have come against childhood hunger. We are reaching our goal of adding at least 5 monthly. We are really exited. Thank God for all those who helped. We received 6 boxes of microwavable Beefaroni, 10 cases (x 40 in each case) 100% juice Capri Sun, a box of oranges and 2 cases of Vienna sausages from one community grocery store.
Our snacks for April included : baby carrots, pickle, oranges, apples, banana, pudding cups, sausage biscuits, oreo cookies, 100% juice, cereal, milk, oats, oval-tine cookies, peanut butter sandwich, pretzels, yogurt, cheese sticks, and peanut. Every boat needs a reliable engine and the ACF has been taking Tots Kitchen to its destination all the time. THANKS ACF.
May is celebrated as International Child's Month and we are assisting 4 pre- k classes to gradually replace regular snacks with Fresh fruits and vegetables over four weeks. Each class will use an evaluation tool to measure the outcome.
We had 16 classes in April at six centers with 132 students, 13 teachers and 5 parents. We invite parents to stay for our class which they do enjoy. We are currently preparing for graduation at all our schools( in May).
Plant protein was introduced as an alternative source of protein. One parent told us she did not know any other protein than meats. But she will certainly try veggie- sausages.
We added a new school May 3 with 41 students.
We are looking forward to summer school.
Sincerely,
Marie Johnson
