they passed a battle bal on the measure to ensure this will not happen to serve the most in poverished student and the ones with the least access to resources. they stepped up. way before we talked about universal san francisco, they decided there would be universal health care for every child in san francisco. we have always been ahead of the curve. i am so excited. you can't wipe the silly grin off my face tonight. listening to the comments from the commissioners and the comments from the audience tonight because i have every confidence that the vision is currently meeting the sealing is going to immediate the road and that we will figure this out and that this is part of the values that we hold dear to us in san francisco. i have to tell you ladies and gentlemen, as a public school kid, as a student

that went to public schools. i wish i had the education to take care of myself much earlier than when i wh i finally came to realize what healthy nutrition is about. we are not interested in boutique learning, not interested in short-term learning. we are interested in lifelong learning. i want to be able to do arithmetic and be great members of the society but we also want them to live long and healthy lives along with our mission along with you. i want to give you a vision. wouldn't it be wonderful that when we think about students in san francisco's public schools, that not only is the vision that they are going to graduate college and career ready, but that elementary school student is going to walk out into their community garden in their school and have the the opportunity to plant fresh

fruits and vegetables and have an education on how it's growing and do a comparison of the commodities market and at the middle school level those students would do a business plan and do a presentation to their colleagues about if we took that bushel and this bushel and compared it to the ones being grown and what would it cost to be organic and non-organic and let's write that up and present about that and someone may even actually compose a song about that and let's do a song about that and we have an opera in our schools and they will do an opera about our fresh fruit and you go to the high school and take students that talk about recycling and they take that

repsychable compost and use it to engines that run on alternative fuel and they tweak it and they get the best performance they can and write about it in the paper and they compete and then they go to their internships in their communities and work in our culinary restaurants and go to their chef and cook up what they have grown in their school sites and they are learning about nutrition, economics, science and able to community and able to make it real. isn't that the vision we want for our students in san francisco? what a rhetorical question. >> one of them will win the westing house competition. >> even more important they are going to win chopped. [ laughter ] i want a chopped champion in san francisco. ladies and

gentlemen, that's wh we are talking about. we are talking about connecting all of the points so that learning is ubiquitous. when we think about learning in san francisco we don't think about tie-dyed shirts. we think about healthy children that won't be susceptible to heart disease, asthma, diabetes. that will live to thrive in our best city in this earth. that's our mission. thank you for being part of that. i could not thank you enough for your incredible work to redesign about what's important. you have heard this already. but evan and sarah williams foundation, thank you. thanks for believing in us and i have every confidence when we start making this vision a reality, we are going to have

many folks that are coming to the table that say we want to be part of the vision that this board was talking about that night. you gave us a lot to digest. no pun intended. this is a bit big bite of information and we are going to chew on this for the rest of the night. so with that, i want to thank you all for being here. >> meeting adjourned. >> >> >> > hi, my name is jamie hoope.
