What is Chefs Move to Schools?
THE CHEFS MOVE TO SCHOOLS program, founded in May 2010, is an integral part of First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! initiative to raise a healthier generation of kids.
The website creates a platform for chefs and schools to create partnerships in their communities with the mission of collaboratively educating kids about food and healthy eating.

What is Chefs Move to Schools?
“We are going to need everyone’s time and talent to solve the childhood obesity epidemic and our Nation’s chefs have tremendous power as leaders on this issue because of their deep knowledge of food and nutrition and their standing in the community. I want to thank them for joining the Let’s Move! Campaign.”

PR & Marketing Tips
Promote your chef partnership! Share your activities via platforms that reach parents. Newsletter, PTA meetings, social media, take‐home flyer, etc.
Take plenty of photos of events/activities you do with your chef. These will be helpful if media want to cover the partnership but can’t make it into the cafeteria.
