NEWS RELEASE – San Diego Unified School District Selected as a 2017 San Diego Food System Alliance EMIE Award Winner for “Love Food Not Waste” Program

NEWS RELEASE –  San Diego Unified School District Selected as a 2017 San Diego Food System Alliance EMIE Award Winner for "Love Food Not Waste" Program

 

September 28, 2017

 

SAN DIEGO – San Diego Unified School District has been hailed as a leader in food waste reduction by the San Diego Food System Alliance, winning the UnWasted Food Award for the "Love Food Not Waste" pilot program. The program offers an avenue for leftover food from the school meal program to be diverted from the landfill to local organizations facing food shortages. Focusing on reducing sources of food waste and recovering unused prepared food, the program has been widely successful.

 

The "Love Food Not Waste" program is a partnership between San Diego Unified and Feeding San Diego. Feeding San Diego coordinates with additional local partners, such as the San Diego Rescue Mission and a number of smaller organizations who are given the opportunity to pick up surplus food from production kitchens throughout the district.

 

"The EMIE Awards are designed to honor the legacy of Congressman Bill Emerson, sponsor of the 1996 Federal Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act.  San Diego Unified School District is honored as a 2017 EMIE Award winner for their quantifiable achievement and innovation in Food Waste Reduction & Recovery," said Barbara Hamilton from the San Diego Food System Alliance. "In addition to establishing a back-hauling program to pick up 59 tons of edible food leftover at their 171 schools and transporting it to their 19 production kitchens, where it is later picked up by Feeding San Diego agency partners, they also achieved a 66 percent reduction in salad bar food waste, estimated to be a savings of more than $200,000."

 

Between September 2016 and June 2017, San Diego Unified rescued nearly 113,000 pounds of food from school breakfasts and lunches, equating to over 94,000 meals.  In addition, over 61,000 pounds of CO2 was reduced from the atmosphere by saving this food from landfill disposal.  The pilot program continued through the summer at production kitchens preparing meals for year-round schools, summer school, and other summer meal programs.

 

"This program is great for a variety of reasons," said Gary Petill, Director of Food and Nutrition. "With just one program, San Diego Unified is saving food from waste, helping feed those that are hungry, and protecting the environment."

 

The "Love Food Not Waste" program expanded in the 2017-18 school year to include after-school meals through a partnership with PrimeTime after-school programs and the district's Extended Learning Opportunities Department.

News Release: San Diego Unified School District recognized by American Heart Association for workplace health achievement

News Release from the San Diego Unified School District, Sept. 15, 2017

 

San Diego Unified School District recognized by American Heart Association for workplace health achievement

 

SAN DIEGO – The 2017 results of the American Heart Association Workplace Health Achievement Index were announced earlier this week and San Diego Unified School District achieved Silver level recognition for taking significant steps to build a culture of health in the workplace.

 

In 2016, San Diego Unified launched its District Wellness Initiative to support the health & well-being of both students and district staff. It established a District Wellness Council that facilitated multiple community partnerships in support of staff wellness and coordinated wellness activities for staff including healthy cooking and fitness classes, biometric health screenings, and wellness workshops. School psychologists and nurses also coordinated professional development for staff on mindfulness and social emotional well-being.

 

In addition, more than 175 school sites identified a School Site Wellness Coordinator or committee and identified one student and one staff wellness project to implement during the school year.

 

The American Heart Association created the Index with its CEO Roundtable members, a leadership collaborative of more than 30 CEOs from some of America’s largest companies who are committed to applying evidence-based approaches to improve their employees’ overall health. The Index uses science-based best practices to evaluate the overall quality and comprehensiveness of their workplace health programs. A unique feature of the Index is that it calculates an average heart health score for employees of participating companies that securely submit aggregate health data.

 

More than 800 companies completed the Index assessment this year and, of those companies, 67 percent received either Gold, Silver, or Bronze recognition. Companies receive benchmarking reports, which allow them to identify potential areas of improvement so that they can advance their annual performance and recognition.

 

“San Diego Unified is committed to providing an environment where all members of its school communities are supported in making healthy choices for lifelong wellness,” said San Diego Unified Superintendent Cindy Marten. “Personal fitness and wellness are important components of every student’s education in San Diego Unified, as research indicates that students who eat healthy and are active achieve more. The same idea applies to employees. We are honored to receive this recognition for our efforts and will continue to make health and wellness a key priority across the district.”

 

The Association’s Workplace Health Achievement Index allows companies to measure the effectiveness of their workplace health programs, as well as the overall heart health of their employees. Unlike other existing organizational scorecards, the Index also scores companies on the heart health of their employees based on Life’s Simple 7^® – the Association’s scientifically validated definition of ideal heart health. The American Heart Association’s Workplace Health Achievement Index assessment is grounded in data-driven science, and a quality improvement framework. According to the Nielsen 2016 Employee Health Survey, robust and comprehensive strategies for well-being are associated with positive impacts on employees’ health.

We team with millions of volunteers to fund innovative research, fight for stronger public health policies, and provide lifesaving tools and information to prevent and treat stroke. The Dallas-based association officially launched in 1998 as a division of the American Heart Association. To learn more or to get involved, call 1-888-4STROKE or visit StrokeAssociation.org. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association receives funding mostly from individuals. Foundations and corporations donate as well, and fund specific programs and events. Strict policies are enforced to prevent these relationships from influencing the Association's science content. Financial information for the American Heart Association, including a list of contributions from pharmaceutical companies and device manufacturers, is available at http://www.heart.org/corporatefunding.

San Diego Unified Kicks Off Hispanic Heritage Week with Mexican Independence Day Multi-Cultural Festivities
Rosa Parks Elementary School will celebrate Mexican Independence day with student performances, special presentations and special guest speakers


WHEN: Friday, September 15, 2017 8:15 a.m.

LOCATION: Rosa Parks Elementary School, 4510 Landis St, San Diego, CA

DETAILS:The San Diego Unified School District recognizes the diversity reflected within the City of San Diego as well as its students and staff and respects the contributions, culture, and heritage of Latinos in this community.

On Tuesday, September 12, 2017, the San Diego Unified School District passed a resolution proclaiming the week of September 15 through October 15, 2017, as National Hispanic Heritage Month and encourages teachers, other staff members, students, and the community to use this opportunity to honor the contributions of the Latino population.

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Week and ahead of Mexican Independence day San Diego Unified would like to recognize the achievements of our Hispanic Students throughout the District with a multi-cultural celebration at Rosa Parks Elementary School.

Some of those achievements are:

· San Diego Unified reclassified more than 4000 English language learners as English proficient students last school year.


· In addition, the district's number of long-term English language learners has decreased.


· The graduation rate for Hispanic students has increased from 84.9% in the 2014-2015 school year to 87.6% in the 2015-2016 – the highest in the state among big-city districts.


· The English Language Learner's graduation rate went from 73.4% in 2014-2015 to 81.4% in 2015-2016 – also the highest in the state among big-city districts.


· The San Diego Unified School District Seal of Bi-literacy was awarded to 516 students in 2017, up from 463 in 2016


Members of the community are invited to join Rosa Parks Elementary as they celebrate Mexican Independence Day and Hispanic student achievement with student performances, Ballet Folklorico Raices, Mexican Escolta and a special guest speaker from the Mexican Embassy.
