2019 Educator Award Contest!

In the Kitchen with Sharon

FCS Day is an opportunity to promote family and consumer sciences programs, and resources that support family mealtime. Families are asked to commit to making and eating a healthy meal together on December 3^rd – the birthday of AAFCS founder, Ellen Swallow Richards, first woman graduate of MIT. For purposes of the campaign, AAFCS is defining family very loosely–relatives, neighbors, co-workers, community members, or fellow members of an organization!

Since 2014, more than 400,000 commitments have been made to “dining in” on Family & Consumer Sciences Day. In 2018, the goal is to add 200,000 “Dining In” commitments. To reach the goal of 200,000 commitments to “Dining In,” your outreach efforts are critical.
