Media PA

This is breaking news! We have done it again. Penncrest High School in Media, PA just became the first Fair Trade public high school. Big thanks to student Tori Powell who began the effort last year when she was a senior, and teacher Mike LoBiondo. The two leaders convinced the school store to sell Fair Trade chocolate, then had many awareness raising events in conjunction with the student Interact members. Members of America's First Fair Trade Town Committee also paid many visits to talk to students, teachers and administrators. Lisa Taddei, who heads up the food service was very responsive and is now using fair trade ingredients in her baking and serves fair trade coffee. Way to go Penncrest!!!
