Week 6: Gallatin Valley Farm to Schools Program


The Gallatin Valley Farm to Schools Program helps connect local farmers and local schools so kids can have healthy foods to eat and learn more about local agriculture.

Molly and her Irving third grade class attended the MSU Local Foods Bazaar on Feb. 10. They tasted yummy water, cheesy potatoes, wheat bread and white bread with honey and butter and little cakes and chips and salsa, and cereal from Cream of the West.

Molly was even interviewed on the 10:00 news!

Week 5: United Way Youth Fitness


For this week, we are choosing the United Way's Youth Fitness program, which we heard about during the Super Bowl. We need the next generation of people to be healthy and strong and happy, because if they aren't healthy and strong and happy, they won't be able to help our earth! And our earth is sick--very sick.

Week 4: Bridger Bowl Foundation


We picked Bridger Bowl Foundation because a lot of people like to ski there. We want to help them ski, so they can have fun and be fast and reach their goals and maybe a little more than their goals!

You can help, too

Week 3: Arbor Day Foundation


Trees make oxygen. We need oxygen. Trees will soon need us. People are chopping down too many trees. The Earth is getting sick. We need to help! That's why we're donating to Arbor Day Foundation.
