Title: FREE Books for schools update!
Post by: Doug Varrieur on April 16, 2012, 04:08:52 PM
I'm pleased to announce a case of 30 books is being shipped today to Union County Middle School in Blairsville, Ga 30512 due to the generosity of a forum member donation through the Donate button on the forum home page. I'm so excited to have a classroom full of FTS books being taught to students by another of our wonderful forum members :)

Thank you too, Andrea!!! :) :) :)

Uncle Sam has just extracted a wad of money from our pockets so things are quite tight right now.
Next month, I hope to join you as a donator to this wonderful cause.

God bless everyone who donates,
and bless the educators that share this with our children,
and bless Doug and Umpa for setting up this great program! :)

I just think its important to educate children and from the looks of things the forum members agree.Lets get to that child before they are obese and if he is obese lets show him there is hope ;) Children are so smart ;)

I have 45 pounds to lose before I reach "Brick House" status. When I get there, I will donate one dollar for every pound I lose and I will add $5 more to make the even 50, so a school can have these books. That's my goal. And I'm going to get it!!!!  ;D

Dough & Umpa - do the schools/classes ever get back to u with any feedback as to how the kids have gone?  If they have taken the message and implemented changes?  weight loss (http://www.fattoskinny.com/)?

Its a new program so we haven't gotten that kind of feedback.Owensmath could probably respond to this question a case of books went to her school.It doesn't have to be public schools we will send them to home school groups too. Kids are so smart,they learn quick :)

We started with the books near the end of the school year, but I did see many students reading labels more often.  They also were bringing water bottles to school instead of bottles of juice or nothing. I also had several teachers ask to borrow a book for the summer.

Today, I saw one of the teachers who borrowed a book.  He is so proud of himself. He has lost 20 pounds so far.
