My 'brother from another mother' was on the Kelly Clarkson Show today

 I have a number of amazing friends around the world, and I am one of the luckiest people alive to be able to say this. Right up there at the top is Stephen Ritz, who teaches in the Bronx, and found his way to having classrooms revolve around tower gardens, and emphasizing good nutrition as one of the absolute essentials for kids to do well and thrive in school. With his Green Bronx Machine organization, he has some 1100 schools with 370,000 students using his curriculum and ideas in their classrooms everyday. 

He was on the 'Kelly Clarkson Show', and his segment aired today. I encourage you to check it out, and my own classroom is fortunate to use our tower gardens to help dozens of families in need of fresh produce every week in Evanston, thanks to Stephen introducing me to all this nearly a decade ago!
