ECC Day 206: bowl with 1/2 white, 1/2 brown rice, chicken, mild, corn, sour cream, lettuce.
«»On 1/17/15, one of my besties, Kael ( @kaeljosephclark ), challenged me to eat Chipotle once a day for one year, because he knows I love it. He was serious but not married to the idea.
«»I accepted this challenge and thought, ‘how can I make it about more than just eating Chipotle-to give back to educators who give so much to students?’
«»I felt the need for educators to know they are making a difference. They are valued and supported.
«»As a School Counselor, I know firsthand that there’s a need for increased access to school-based mental, social, emotional health and well-being services/training for students in K-12 schools.
«»From Kael’s challenge to my passionate desire to support educators and young people, the Educator Chipotle Challenge (ECC) was created. Check out Kael’s Educator Shout Out Interview on ECC’s @youtube channel or www.educatorcc.com for more of its story.
The ECC’s purpose:
•Fulfill Kael’s 365 day Chipotle Challenge;
•Highlight stories of educators’ positive impact through video interviews;
•Fundraise $100,000—half goes to purchase supplies & materials to directly gift my fellow educators at Da Vinci Charter Academy, and half will be donated to an organization that provides mental health services for K-12 students in Davis, CA. #ChipInForEducation @gofundme OR www.educatorcc.com
