ioAirFlow Announces New COVID-19 Risk Assessment Solution for Schools

Canadian startup’s focus on air quality, COVID-19 transmission risk mitigation in response to international calls for better monitoring in buildings

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, January 18, 2022 (Newswire.com)
–
In response to the rapid spread of the COVID-19 Omicron variant, Canadian data intelligence company ioAirFlow is heeding the call from health organizations worldwide for better building ventilation monitoring to mitigate the transmission risk of COVID-19 in schools.

Founded in 2016, Winnipeg, Canada-based ioAirFlow was launched on the premise of improving air quality, efficiency and performance gaps in commercial buildings. The company’s solution includes a rapidly deployable and affordable test solution that can run in virtually any building worldwide.

Their most current building performance monitoring platform provides detailed and actionable analysis specific to CO2 monitoring and ventilation efficacity, with a focus on identifying areas of higher transmission risk of COVID-19 and other airborne infectious diseases.

“There has never been a more critical time to improve air quality and reduce COVID-19 transmission risk”, said ioAirFlow CEO Matt Schaubroeck. “In North America, it is widely accepted that buildings and workplaces with poor indoor air quality accelerate the spread of airborne diseases like COVID-19 due to inadequate ventilation and outdated mechanical and HVAC systems.”

Last month, a study from the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology indicated that “poorly ventilated school classrooms record up to six times as many COVID-19 cases compared with those which are regularly aired.”

In response, major health and building standards organizations, including the Centre for Disease Control and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) have released international pleas for more trending and monitoring of ventilation, temperature, and humidity levels in schools and classrooms to mitigate risk of airborne pathogen transmission.

“We wanted to test our district’s schools to ensure that our space was safe for students and teachers”, said Tim Stefanishyn, Superintendent of the Whiteshell School District. “ioAirFlow’s data analysis allowed us to understand how the buildings’ ventilation systems were operating and what we could do to improve the indoor air quality of the spaces.”

Since launching its platform in June 2021, ioAirFlow has been implemented in numerous buildings across North America, including a growing number of schools. The newest releases aim to enable buildings not currently equipped with permanent building monitoring systems to monitor indoor environmental quality and efficiency metrics and make smarter and safer building improvements.

“The lack of data available around air quality in schools is a significant barrier to having students and teachers back to a safe in-person learning environment”, said Albert Behr, industry-leading technology commercialization expert. “The solution developed by ioAirFlow is a much-needed technology application to bring reliable and affordable air quality data to buildings that desperately need it to navigate the realities of living in the COVID-19 pandemic.”

About ioAirFlow

ioAirFlow’s digital analysis platform identifies indoor environmental quality issues in commercial buildings including performance, energy efficiency, and air quality measurements. Using wireless sensors and a proprietary data analysis platform, the company identifies building problems faster and more accurately than manual energy audits, and at a fraction of the cost of permanent monitoring solutions.

Over the River and Through the Woods: Distracted Drivers Present New Dangers This Holiday Season

Press Release

Dec 8, 2021

SACRAMENTO, Calif., December 8, 2021 (Newswire.com)
–
Today, Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) and Root Insurance call all motorists to prioritize safety during this holiday season when crashes can be on the rise due to various distractions inside the vehicle.

Data from the California Highway Patrol shows that car crashes continue to be a leading cause of death for teens ages 16-24 in the Golden State. A Zogby poll, commissioned by Root and SADD, shows that 64% of Californians are concerned about roadway safety, specifically distracted driving and its threat to their safety. The study further indicates that 64% of parents with children under 17 believe the problem has grown worse over the past several years.

December is National Impaired Driving Prevention Month, a nationwide observance to call attention to the public health crisis of roadway fatalities. While we typically think of impairment as behavior related to drugs and alcohol, distractions inside the car present similar dangers for all roadway users. SADD works with a coalition of partners across the state to raise awareness on these issues with funding from the California Office of Traffic Safety and the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. SADD chapters in middle schools, high schools, and college campuses will hold awareness events for teens and parents throughout the week. SADD will feature the Passport for Safe Driving, a resource developed in partnership with National Road Safety Foundation to assist parents in coaching their teens to be safer drivers.

“Distractions, impairment, speed, recklessness, lack of seat belt, and inexperience — these behaviors are the leading causes of teen crashes in California, and they are 100% preventable,” said Rick Birt, President & CEO of SADD. “We’re honored to join with Root Insurance to raise awareness of these behaviors and what teens and adult allies can do to prevent crashes and save lives this holiday season.”

“Californians are right to be concerned with the real dangers posed by distracted driving,” said Kathy Mitchell, Director of Government Affairs for Root, Inc. “One innovative solution supported by California drivers is to tie the driving ability to insurance rates so that drivers are incentivized to drive safely with lower rates. We know which tools will make our roads safer. We just need to implement them. Californians can rest assured SADD is working tirelessly to deliver results.”

Resources for students, parents, and community-members can be found on the SADD website at www.sadd.org or your favorite social media platform.

About SADD
For 40 years, SADD, the nation’s premier youth health safety organization, has worked to empower teens, engage parents, mobilize communities, and change lives around the issues of traffic safety, substance abuse, and personal health and safety. Through a national network of peer-led chapters in middle schools, high schools, and colleges, SADD equips students with the resources they need to advocate for change in their communities.

Wake County Families to Safely Reopen Schools Calls for Immediate Action by the Wake County Board of Education

Press Release
–

updated: Sep 10, 2020

WAKE COUNTY, N.C., September 10, 2020 (Newswire.com)
–
Among the school reopening choices outlined by Governor Roy Cooper and the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, Plan B allows North Carolina students to return to classrooms in a blend of in-person and virtual instruction. Accordingly, Wake County Families to Safely Reopen Schools respectfully requests that the Wake County Board of Education (the “School Board”) finalize a clear plan to reopen schools under Plan B no later than Oct. 1 and that schools reopen no later than Oct. 22.

Wake County Families to Safely Reopen Schools believes in the Wake County Public School System, our school administrators, and our teachers. We believe that our community is strong and that we can create a public-private partnership to return students and teachers to schools safely, consistent with The Strong Schools NC Public Health Toolkit (K-12). Most important, we believe that there is no replacement for in-person student-teacher interaction within the school building. We believe that our students deserve and are legally entitled to this education.

The School Board’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been inconsistent and muddled. The School Board has changed the date for reopening at least three times and currently takes the position that schools will be reopened in Plan B as soon as it is “practical,” without providing clear guidance what that means. We have written to our School Board members seeking clarity and have received no concrete response.

On July 10, Superintendent Cathy Moore stated that decisions will be made in accordance with “state health guidelines and legal requirements that are handed to school systems.” The state has given the School Board a toolkit for reopening. The governor has allowed schools to reopen in Plan B. Parents and the community are offering to help. The School Board continues to stall.

To date, the School Board has no plan to safely reopen the schools for in-person instruction. In fact, in a September 9 response to a member of the group regarding a reopening date, school board member Christine Kushner stated, “I just don’t have any answers for you that reflect a consensus way forward.” However, that same day Vice-Chairwoman Roxie Cash stated that she supports a return to the classroom saying “I do not believe that we can wait any longer to put … children back in the classroom.”

The School Board must take positive action to determine what it will take to open the schools. The time is now. A return to in-person instruction will require monumental efforts from administrators and teachers. The plan must come from the top. Our children’s education is too important to politicize.

Wake County Families to Safely Reopen Schools is made up largely of tax-paying families in Wake County. Since its creation on Aug. 26, the group has accumulated more than 1,500 members and is steadily growing. You can find the group on Facebook.

The International Association of Women (IAW) recognizes Kelenda Allen-James as a 2020-2021 Influencer. She is acknowledged as a leader in information technology. The International Association of Women (IAW) is a global in-person and online networking platform with more than 100 local chapters, International Chapters and 1,000+ in-person and virtual events.

Kelenda Allen-James uses her expertise in information technology to help others, something she has always been passionate about. For nearly four years, she has held the position of IT Support Manager at St. HOPE Leadership Academy, a high school-preparatory public charter school located in New York City.

“As a nonprofit technologist, I am able to bring affordable mission-based technology to organizations,” Ms. Allen-James said. “This allows for less money to go to overhead and more funding to go to the mission of the organization.”

In her role, Ms. Allen-James uses her skills and expertise in educational technology, network administration and technology management. Her numerous responsibilities include managing all school-wide technology projects and issues, evaluating new technologies, managing outside vendors, developing customer support policies, and much more.

Although she often faces challenges along the way, including finding all the stakeholders at the beginning of an initiative, Ms. Allen-James acknowledged the most rewarding part of her career is when she sees the positive impact efforts have on students’ lives. “If the data I provide allows a student’s family to improve their scholar’s attendance, or the savings I generate by converting telephone services to VoIP allows for more funding for permanent housing to an additional person, all my efforts were worth it,” she added.

In the future, Ms. Allen James hopes to increase the conversations the nonprofit community is having about how technology can move their missions forward.

Westside Christian Academy Announces the Launch of the SME Westside High School Membership Program

Henry Wells, III, Campus Principal and Head of Westside Christian Academy recently announced the formation of the Westside SME (Society of Manufacturing Engineers) Membership Program, to further educate students on the value of manufacturing and the career possibilities available to them.

Detroit, Michigan, February 5, 2018 (Newswire.com)
–
“This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn the many opportunities for a career in manufacturing including skilled trades, engineering, designing and programming,” said Wells.

There are currently more than 600,000 jobs available in manufacturing in the US, with the expectation that number could grow to 2 million by 2025 because of an aging workforce and new technologies creating more jobs.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn the many opportunities for a career in manufacturing including skilled trades, engineering, designing and programming.”

Henry Wells, III, Principal and Head of Westside Christian Academy

“Our students will envision a more positive future when they learn about the manufacturing resurgence in Detroit and realize that they can be a part of it and begin to work toward that goal,” said Wells.

The SME high school student membership program provides a wealth of knowledge for the student members including access to programs and activities that provide them with both hands-on and virtual access to resources and information related to manufacturing including a mentorship program and scholarships.

“Our students are discovering that manufacturing is undergoing a renaissance in their own community with high paying manufacturing jobs and successful careers opening up to them,” said Wells. “They need to learn what opportunities are out there for them, and becoming involved in the SME High School Membership Program will give them access to that information.”

About SME

SME is a nonprofit organization has served practitioners, companies, educators, government and communities across the manufacturing spectrum for more than 80 years. Through its strategic areas of events, media, membership, training and development and the SME Education Foundation, SME is uniquely dedicated to the advancement of manufacturing by addressing both knowledge and skills needed for the industry.

New Grant Opportunity From Agentic Learning Will Help Schools Successfully Implement Student-Centered Learning
Press Release
–

updated: Feb 2, 2018
PORTLAND, Ore., February 2, 2018 (Newswire.com)
–
Empowering students by fostering student agency has been shown to improve outcomes, leading to gains in student engagement and achievement. But many school systems struggle to implement this approach effectively.

To remedy this problem, Agentic Learning today launched a competitive grant opportunity for school districts to work with the organization on an innovative and comprehensive one-year program to engage all learners and improve academic outcomes. Agentic Learning is conducting a nationwide search for school districts that believe student agency should be a primary goal in education and will award grants to two districts upon completion of a rigorous review process.

We have uncovered the key to raising student achievement and preparing students for the dynamic and ever-changing world they are facing.

Dr. Michael Gielniak, CEO

“We believe we have uncovered the key to raising student achievement and preparing students for the dynamic and ever-changing world they are facing — and this key is student agency. When student-centered learning is implemented authentically, student agency occurs. Unfortunately, this is not the experience in many schools today. As a result, students are disengaged — and learning is stagnant,” said Dr. Michael Gielniak, CEO of Agentic Learning. “We are looking to partner with two school districts who believe in the importance of student agency and who are willing to do this challenging but groundbreaking work.”

“In most school districts, new innovations are implemented top-down, and teachers are treated as cogs in a machine, not given the agency they need to authentically put the deep substance of new pedagogies in place,” said Marie Bjerede, President of Agentic Learning. “Instead, we help districts give teachers ownership over the path and pace they use to lead student agency and turbo-charge learning in their classrooms.”

In Agentic Learning’s student agency program, the goal is to produce teachers who say, “I can’t believe I get paid for this,” and students who say, “I can’t believe I get credit for this,” as they find themselves achieving their goals with hard work that feels like fun. Agentic Learning’s tools and resources help districts foster these outcomes by offering an environment that supports student agency, intrinsic motivation, and flow.

Beginning today, school districts can apply for the grant, which provides the one-year Agentic Learning program and support free of charge. The application period closes on March 1, 2018.

More information can be found at www.agenticlearning.org. Follow us on Twitter @agenticlearning.

NEWS HIGHLIGHTS
- Agentic Learning is offering free consulting for one year to two qualified districts to help them successfully activate student agency in their learning.
- Recipients will get monthly coaching of their leadership teams, co-creation of a Formal Improvement Process that supports teachers, and 1 free year of the REFLECT app that gives insight into practices and successes.
- Agentic Learning empowers learners and can reduce behavioral issues, increase engagement and raise student achievement.

Agentic Learning is a mission-driven company formed in 2017 to address the challenges districts face in implementing initiatives in a way that actually drives improved student outcomes. Too often initiatives with great promise have no significant effect once they make it to the classroom, or if they work in one classroom they don’t scale. Agentic Learning has developed a protocol that addresses the failure of promising initiatives to scale throughout a district that is based in fostering student agency as a component of these initiatives and empowering teachers to take ownership of the path and pace of implementation. Through these mechanisms, the frequent systemic failure of initiatives like Project Based Learning, Inquiry, Design Thinking, and others to significantly impact student outcomes is addressed.

Ms. Smith told the class to ask themselves if they think they are going to be successful and to think about what they need to do to make sure they are successful. “You can make that decision,” she said, “your environment doesn’t make that decision for you.”

The Westside Master Class Series focuses on careers in STEM — science, technology, engineering, and math — and is held at the school on the last Thursday of every month.

Ms. Smith gave our students valuable insight into why they need the STEM skills to compete in the real world and showed them a list of career opportunities that were possible with those skills.

Henry Wells III, Campus principal and head of Westside Christian Academy

“Ms. Smith gave our students valuable insight into why they need the STEM skills to compete in the real world and showed them a list of career opportunities that were possible with those skills,” said Henry Wells III, campus principal and head of the school.

“The top paying jobs in America all have math in common,” Smith told the students. “If you don’t know what you want to do yet, if you are strong in math, doors can be opened for you.”

Ms. Smith is a strong and versatile senior manager with leadership experience in both manufacturing and education. Her talents as a detail-oriented multitasker serve to explain her present success as the managing director of all operational aspects at her two Mathnasium Learning Centers.

“There are people in the world,” she told the students, “who are successful and you have access to those people through the Master Class Series. You can speak to those people and take that information and reflect on it and how it translates to your life. What are you doing now, and what are you doing to change yourself? Reflect on that then begin to take action.”

“Westside is committed to educating strong servant leaders who influence their relationships, communities and the world for the glory of God,” said Mr. Wells III. “Ms. Smith was a great example of a strong leader who is influencing her students.”

Opening Up for Student Success

Lyryx announces the release of “Linear Algebra with Applications” (W. Keith Nicholson) as their latest open educational resource (OER).

Press Release
–

updated: Jan 8, 2018

CALGARY, Alberta, January 8, 2018 (Newswire.com)
–
Today marks the official release of the latest open educational resource (OER) from Lyryx Learning. W. Keith Nicholson’s Linear Algebra with Applications, a text published for many years by a traditional publisher, has now been released with an open license and is freely available to all.

OERs are educational materials that are open, freely accessible and can be fully used, shared, and adapted in the digital environment.

The main goal of most publishers is profit, and the result has been a sales-driven business model as opposed to one driving student success.

Dr. Nicholson, Author & Mathematics Professor

When asked why he opted to release his text under a Creative Commons license, Dr. Nicholson said, “The main goal of most publishers is profit, and the result has been a sales-driven business model as opposed to one driving student success. This results in frequent new editions of textbooks motivated largely to reduce the sale of used books rather than to update content quality. It also introduces copyright restrictions which stifle the creation and use of new pedagogical methods and materials. The overall result is high-cost textbooks which may not meet the evolving educational needs of instructors and students.”

He added that with OER, “The cost to students is significantly lower, and open licenses return content control to instructors. Through editable file formats and open licenses, OER can be developed, maintained, reviewed, edited, and improved by a variety of contributors. Instructors can now respond to curriculum change by revising and reordering material to create content that meets the needs of their students.”

Claude Laflamme, Founder and CEO of Lyryx Learning, says, “This isn’t the first traditionally published text Lyryx has released as an OER and we know it won’t be the last. The need for accessible, affordable and adaptable resources is enduring and we are excited to contribute to the increased adoption of OER at post-secondary institutions in Canada by providing such resources.”

American Indian Graduate Center Receives Million Dollar Grant From Wells Fargo

Press Release

updated: Dec 19, 2017

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., December 19, 2017 (Newswire.com)
–
American Indian Graduate Center (AIGC), the leading provider of scholarships for Native American and Alaska Native students in the U.S., has had the support of Wells Fargo since 2007. At that time, Wells Fargo established an endowment with AIGC to provide scholarships for higher education.

It is this kind of support that allows AIGC to award an average of $15 million annually to deserving undergraduate and graduate students. AIGC is proud to empower tribal students from 274 tribes in 43 states, with over 20 educational funding opportunities and support services.

Wells Fargo has been a wonderful partner for AIGC and shares our vision of empowering the next generation of Native leaders through higher education.

Angelique Albert, Executive Director, AIGC

In 2014, Wells Fargo awarded AIGC a three year, $3 million grant to provide scholarships and student services. This allowed AIGC to expand its student services to include webinars, online resources and the Know Before U Go (KBUG) program for high school students.

Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation and The LV Project Introduce Life Vest Education Curriculum for High-School Students in 22 States
Press Release
–

updated: Aug 8, 2017
Dallas, Texas, August 8, 2017 (Newswire.com)
–
Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation, a leader in high school outdoor education, and The LV Project, an organization dedicated to preventing lake drownings, have teamed up to deliver a one-of-a kind, powerfully-crafted curriculum for students who participate in Outdoor Adventures classes. The life vest curriculum is part of a comprehensive education program which teaches students about all types of outdoor activities including Hunter Education, Angling, Boater Education, and Paddle Sports. The curriculum will be distributed to educators in more than 320 schools in 22 states, reaching more than 30,000 students.

The life vest education component begins with the memorable story of 15-year-old Connor Gage, a high school freshman who, despite being an excellent swimmer and lifelong lake kid, lost his life to a lake drowning while at a friend’s birthday party in 2012. Students first learn Connor’s story in an interactive exercise called “Five Hours One Friday”, which provides insight into the circumstances which led to his death. The program builds on Connor’s story with useful, educational and powerful life-saving information that will benefit the students for years to come.

“It’s impossible to hear Connor’s story and not be moved. Losing a child is tragic. Losing a child to something preventable is downright devastating. We are honored to work with The LV Project to educate today’s youth on ways to be safe in natural water settings. Our goal is to prevent Connor’s story from being repeated,”

Scot McClure, Education Coordinator

“It’s impossible to hear Connor’s story and not be moved. Losing a child is tragic. Losing a child to something preventable is downright devastating. We are honored to work with The LV Project to educate today’s youth on ways to be safe in natural water settings. Our goal is to prevent Connor’s story from being repeated,” said Scot McClure, Education Coordinator, Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation.

According to statistics from the CDC, drowning rates in natural water settings triple at age 15 and remain elevated through adulthood. “Too many people assume knowing how to swim makes you drown-proof. Unlike in pools, with open water, it’s our teenage sons and our fathers who are at greatest risk,” says Dana Gage, Connor’s mom and Founder of The LV Project. “The prevalent attitude toward life vest wear is remarkably similar to how seat belts were viewed in the 70s… a nuisance and not needed,” she added. “Meanwhile, more and more people die needlessly each year. A $30 life vest would have saved my son. It’s tragic. But more importantly, it’s preventable. We applaud Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation for implementing a curriculum that will not only educate but save lives for years to come.”

Drowning is a leading cause of accidental death in the United States:
- The #1 cause of accidental death ages 1 – 4, #2 under age 14, and 5th overall.
- 84% of boating fatalities are not wearing a life vest.
- On average, 10 people die each day from unintentional drowning.
The course curriculum is fully aligned to state education standards and launches officially for the 2017-18 school year.

About Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation
Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation (OTF) began as Dallas Ecological Foundation in 1981 with the primary purpose to teach in-school outdoor education and to promote and fund conservation of wildlife worldwide. The OTF’s Outdoor Adventure program is taught in over 300 schools in 22 states, with 30,000 students currently enrolled and more than 180,000 student participants. Learn more at www.gootf.com

About The LV Project
Founded in 2012 to honor the life of Connor Kelly Gage, The LV Project’s mission is buoyancy, on water and in life. During swim season, The LV Project focuses on “water buoyancy” and raises awareness for drowning prevention, specifically advocating for use of life vests. The rest of the time, The LV Project shifts its focus to “life buoyancy”, partnering with other non-profit organizations and completing service projects that give people in need a lift in their everyday lives.

Harvest Snaps and Table for Two Reunite to Fight Obesity and Hunger With Students – Snappy Idea for Giving Back

Press Release
–

May 12, 2016

New York, NY, May 12, 2016 (Newswire.com)
–
Harvest Snaps and TABLE FOR TWO (TFT) are rejoining their efforts to address both obesity and hunger. From April through November, over 100 elementary, middle and high schools nationwide are expected to participate in this unique program that provides a healthy bite for all involved. Students will receive better-for-you snacks of Harvest Snaps Snapea Crisps donated by Harvest Snaps, and for each snack distributed Harvest Snaps will donate an additional 25 cents to TFT to provide healthy school meals for children in need in East Africa and our local communities. With a simple act of snacking on Harvest Snaps Snapea Crisps students enable another child to receive a vitally important and nutritious school meal.

Harvest Snaps and TFT aim to elevate awareness of children’s obesity and hunger in their “Snappy Idea for Giving Back” campaign. One of the participating schools, Community School of Naples in Florida, has over 800 children excited to participate in the program. During a school assembly, their students gave a presentation about world hunger and obesity issues, how the Giving Back program works and what kind of school meals can be provided to children in Africa.

“As one of the participating schools, we are extremely thrilled to provide a great educational opportunity to our students. They can learn about world critical issues and most importantly, they can take a step towards the solution in a very creative and fun way.”

Parthena Draggett, World Language Department Chair, Community School of Naples

“As one of the participating schools, we are extremely thrilled to provide a great educational opportunity to our students. They can learn about world critical issues and most importantly, they can take a step towards the solution in a very creative and fun way,” said Parthena Draggett, World Language Department Chair of Community School of Naples.

In addition, Harvest Snaps and TFT aim to raise enough donated funds to provide over 80,000 school meals to African children in Rwanda, Tanzania and Ethiopia and simultaneously to local communities in the US. In Africa, the 25 cents from the program funds one school meal to each child, and in the US it facilitates school meal upgrades for healthier options in low-income neighborhood districts.

“We are very excited about launching our Giving Back campaign again this year. Over 50 participating schools last year gave really positive feedback, so we decided to expand the program to enable more schools to be part of it. Thanks to Harvest Snaps, students can make a difference by doing good for themselves and eating a healthier snack” said Mayumi Uejima-Carr, Co-President of TFT. “Among seven billion people in the world, one billion suffer from hunger, while one billion people are overweight or obese. What better way to learn than to take action toward these critical issues.”

Harvest Snaps provides snack enthusiasts with a tasty, crunchy, green pea snack that offers necessary nutrients to help growing bodies and minds like plant-based protein, fiber, vitamin B, calcium, iron, and potassium. “We are proud to continue working on the obesity and hunger issues stateside and internationally,” said Angelica Lasley, Harvest Snaps Brand Marketing Manager. “We specifically choose to work with TFT because of their unique method of educating and empowering local children to make healthier snacking choices while making a positive difference in a needy child’s life both in the US and in Africa. ”

###

TABLE FOR TWO USA (TFT-USA) is a 501(C)(3) organization that addresses the opposite issues of hunger and obesity through a unique meal-sharing program. TFT-USA partners with corporations, restaurants, schools and other food establishments to serve healthy, low-calorie, TFT- branded meals. For each one of these healthy meals served, $0.25 is donated to provide one school lunch for a student in need. It is in this way that TFT-USA has served healthy meals to both sides of the “table” and helped to right the global food imbalance. For more information about TFT-USA, visit usa.tablefor2.org

Harvest Snaps® has been manufactured by Calbee North America since 2001.
