In the summer of 2012, she founded Good to Go Kids, a community-based organization that provides food to students in need to help ensure they get the nutrition they need to keep their minds and bodies active and healthy.

This program is not connected to or run by the school district. For more information, go to Good to Go Kids on Facebook.
