December 3rd is being Promoted as National Family and Consumer Sciences Day, see logo for "Eating at Home" promotion

Recently the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences and its affiliates made
December 3, 2014, National Family and Consumer Sciences Day.  And what a perfect way to promote
 and celebrate this group by using the theme, "Dining In". 

If you are a FACS teacher or business person you should have this logo on everything that you send out
to parents, families and associates up until December 3, 2014. I suggest you promote making a meal
together and eating together as a family at home for a classroom project.
  Give students credit for this meal: by making it an assignment with recipes pre-planned and required
pictures of the prepared meal and the family cooking and eating together. 

I am so excited for the association to come together and promote you/us and the work that we do. 

Remember this only works if those folks involved with food preparation in schools and business
 promote this project.  Try to send out press releases to your local paper to promote this day or make
 the promotion a classroom project.  I would personally like to suggest that letters should contain the
information with the title Family and Consumer Sciences/Formerly known as Home Economics when
promoting this day and project. 

I also recommend that you start working on this project now so that time does not sneak up on you and
you are ready to go on that day. 

Happy planning and cooking. 

With love from your retired FACS teacher, Jane
