From YouTube: My Way Cafe Announcement
Description
Fresh and healthy food is now coming to more Boston Public Schools! Mayor Walsh joins Interim BPS Superintendent Laura Perille, Principal of the Kenny School Emily Bryan, President of the Shah Family Foundation Jill Shah, along with students and faculty at the Kenny School in Dorchester, to announce the expansion of the My Way Cafe program. Originally launched at the Bradley Elementary School in East Boston, the expanded program utilizes a Hub and Spoke kitchen model that helps increase the number of students who can eat fresh and healthy meals cooked on-site.
A
Good
morning
my
name
is
Emily
Bryan
I'm,
the
proud
principal
the
Thomas
J
Kenney
elementary
school
welcome
everyone,
many
more
people
than
I
thought
so
welcome.
Everybody
I
was
told
to
write
very
brief
remarks,
but
everyone
in
here
knows
that
I'm
physically
incapable
of
doing
that
so
I'll
just
read
my
long
remarks
very
quickly.
I
am
proud
to
be
the
leader
of
this
incredible
school
community
at
the
Kenny
school.
We
believe
in
the
power
of
our
diversity
and
our
unity.
A
We
believe
that,
with
perseverance,
integrity
and
dedication
to
education
together,
we
can
take
what
is
and
create
what
can
be
in
just
the
past
four
years.
We've
transformed
our
students,
academic
outcomes,
more
than
tripled
our
state
accountability
levels
and
have
risen
from
a
level
three
to
a
level
one
Boston
public
school,
and
we
continue
to
close
our
opportunity
gaps.
We've
transformed
our
enrichment
spaces,
our
grass
lot
and
pavement
into
a
flourishing
garden
soccer
field
and
playground
where
our
newly
established
soccer
teams
compete.
A
Just
last
year
he
came
out
to
the
Kenny
school
before
school
had
even
started
to
help
prepare
the
building
for
students.
He
helped
paint
classrooms,
clean
desks
and
even
stood
on
a
really
rickety
ladder
to
hang
the
banner
at
our
front
entrance
I
remember
holding
the
base
of
that
ladder
and
just
picturing
the
Boston
Globe
headline
principal
causes
mayor
to
fall
and
break
leg
at
Kenny
elementary
school.
A
That
was
probably
a
bad
idea,
but
but
it
looks
really
good.
I
remember
on
that
day,
he
made
a
side
coming
to
me,
while
scrubbing
a
desk
with
a
Lysol,
why
he
said
these
are
really
old
desks.
You
really
need
new
furniture,
and
only
a
few
months
later,
Boston
Public
Schools
received
funding
for
new
furniture
for
classrooms
across
the
city,
and
today
we
now
have
flat-screen
televisions
desks
that
adjust
to
the
height
of
students,
chairs
and
tables
that
slide
together
for
collaborative
work.
A
He
took
what
was
and
made
what
could
be
I
was
there
that
night
at
the
State
of
the
City
address
I,
remember
looking
up
and
around
the
room,
admiring
the
diversity
of
the
crowd
and
I
looked
up
and
I
saw
one
of
my
students
in
the
balcony.
She
still
had
her
pink
backpack
with
her
from
school
and
she
was
leaning
forward,
resting
her
hands
on
her
or
her
chin
on
her
hands.
A
We
will
continue
to
take
what
is
and
make
what
can
be
together
through
hard
work
and
perseverance
and
I'm
excited
for
his
announcement
today,
because
it
is
one
more
example
of
taking
what
is
and
creating
what
can
be
one
more
example
of
his
words
becoming
actions
that
better
the
lives
and
educational
experiences
of
our
kids
and,
what's
more
exciting
than
that.
So
thank
you
to
Mayor,
Walsh,
superintendent,
Perl
food
and
nutrition
services,
public
facilities,
Jill
Shaw
and
the
Shaw
foundation
for
being
here
today.
B
Thank
you
very
much,
miss
Bryant
and
I'm.
How
are
you
doing
Kenny
school
today?
So
do
you
know
what
we're
doing
today?
This
is
a
press
conference.
So
when
you
have
a
press
conference,
you
have
a
bunch
of
TV
cameras
from
all
the
news
stations
that
are
here
and
we're
gonna
be
talking
about
what
I'm
going
to
announce
in
a
few
minutes.
So
you're
part
of
this
group,
so
I
want
to
thank
you
for
being
part
of
this.
Thank
you
for
letting
me
use
your
school
today.
B
It's
pretty
exciting
that
we're
here
today
and
I
know
all
the
media
folks
that
are
here
today,
I'm
really
excited
about
being
here
as
well.
Let
me
just
thank
thank
the
teachers
here
at
the
Kennedy
School
thank
the
staff
here
at
the
school.
This
school
is
an
amazing
school
I've
been
associated
with
the
school
since
I
got
elected
to
public
office
in
1997.
This
school
has
gone
through
Ed's
and
flows
over
the
years
and
I
messed
me
up.
B
We
read
in
the
paper
or
we
see
on
TV
this
the
bad
stories
about
what's
going
on
in
some
of
our
districts,
we
don't
see
the
great
stories
and
today
is
a
great
story.
So
congratulations
to
the
staff
here
at
the
Kenny
school
teachers,
everybody
who
has
anything
to
do
here-
the
parents
amazing
stuff,
the
leadership.
Thank
you
very
much.
What
you
do
every
day,
how
about
we
give
her
a
round
of
applause.
B
We're
also
joined
by
some
folks
that
work
in
the
city
of
Boston
here
with
us,
Laura
parrell
who's
right
here,
who
is
our
Superintendent
of
Schools
she's,
the
boss
of
all
the
schools.
So
I
want
to
thank
Lara
for
being
here.
Dave
Sweeney,
who
was
the
chief
of
staff
for
the
City
of
Boston
Dave,
grew
up
down
the
street,
and
his
mom
was
a
teacher
in
the
Boston
Public
Schools
and
I.
B
Some
of
his
family
definitely
came
to
this
school
because
there's
a
ton
of
uncles
and
cousins
and
aunts
so
I
know
some
of
them
did
a
mehandi
who's
the
head.
She
runs
all
the
money
in
the
City
of
Austin
and
she
lives
not
too
far
from
here
as
well.
I
want
to
thank
Emma
for
being
here.
We
have
Trish
Lyons,
who
runs
our
who
runs
all
of
the
kind
of
public
facilities
and
all
the
buildings
we
do.
B
B
Jill
is
the
woman
who
came
up
with
an
idea
of
making
investments
into
creating
what
we
call
the
my
way
cafes,
which
I'm
going
to
talk
about
in
a
minute
and
I
want
to
thank
Jill
and
her
family
for
their
commitment
to
the
city
of
Boston.
They
have
a
business
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
they
set
up
a
foundation
and
what
they
doing
that
doing
offer
their
business
doing
a
lot
of
great
things
in
the
city,
so
I
want
to
thank
them.
I
want
to
thank
Ross.
B
Wilson
is
in
the
back
Ross
used
to
work
for
the
school
department,
and
now
he
works
over
at
the
SHA
Family
Foundation
and
Ross
is
the
person
who
helps
us
as
well
with
this
stuff.
So
it
takes
a
whole
village
right
to
help
people,
so
it
takes
a
whole
village.
So,
when
you
think
about
how
do
we
make
schools
better?
How
do
we
do
great
things?
We
need
to
have
a
whole
bunch
of
people
working
together,
and
we
have
them
all
here
today.
So
I
want
to
thank
them
all
who
likes
school
lunches.
B
Do
you
like
the
school
lunches
they?
Okay,
tell
me
the
truth,
who
thinks
they're
good,
raise
your
hands,
who
thinks
they're?
Okay,
raise
your
hand
who
thinks
they
need
to
be
a
lot
better.
Raise
your
hand
all
right.
Well,
one
thing
that
we're
gonna
do
this
summer:
we're
gonna
build
a
brand
new
kitchen
here
at
the
Kenny
school.
B
When
are
we
building
a
brand-new
kitchen
for
all
of
you
and
I
guarantee
you
when
you
come
back
to
school
next
temer
and
you
have
lunch
and
breakfast
and
food
you
are
gonna,
absolutely
love
it,
because
it
is
unbelievable
food
and
we're
very
excited
about
that.
The
kitchen
is
gonna,
serve
breakfast
and
lunch,
and
the
kitchen
that
you're
gonna
have
here
we're
actually
going
to
change
the
name.
It's
not
going
to
be
a
kitchen
and
it's
not
gonna
be
a
cafeteria.
B
B
We're
gonna
have
food,
that's
fresh!
Well,
this
year,
fresh
fruit,
not
packaged
right.
You
want
fresh
food,
healthy
food,
Wow,
it's
some
healthy
food.
You
get
a
choice.
You
can
pick
and
choose
what
help
you
like
to
eat
all
right,
how's
that
we're
gonna
have
healthy
food,
we're
gonna,
make
sure
it
tastes
better
right,
yeah.
It
should
taste
good
right
lunch
and
breakfast
your
taste
good
and
we're
gonna
make
sure
we
do
it
every
single
day.
So
that's
that's.
B
What
we're
gonna
plan
on
doing
and
we're
also
gonna
build
new
kitchens
are
gonna,
bring
my
way:
Cafe
225,
more
schools
this
summer
right
now
we're
in
about
30
schools
in
the
city
and
after
the
summer,
when
we're
done
with
the
summer,
we'll
be
in
30
25
additional
schools,
so
it'll
be
almost
55
to
60
schools,
we'll
have
about
half
five
schools
in
the
city
of
Boston,
with
the
my
way
Cafe
in
them.
We're
excited
this
program
that
we're
talking
about.
Today,
we
started
in
East
Boston
a
couple
years
ago.
B
Last
year
we
brought
my
way
cafe
at
dirty
schools
in
Boston
and
well,
mostly
in
East
Boston
in
Dorchester
Mattapan.
Now
we're
committing
the
city
of
Boston.
Yesterday
we
did
our
budget.
We
talked
about
the
budget
for
the
city
and
in
that
budget
we're
committing
eight
million
dollars
to
building
out
brand
new
schools
in
our
city
capital
plan
and
we're
gonna
be
making
sure
that
most
of
those
schools
gonna
be
built
right
here
in
Dorchester
and
a
few
other
parts
of
the
city
of
Boston,
so
the
Kenny
schools
on
the
second
round
of
these
schools.
B
So
we
made
sure
that
everyone
get
to
get
a
chance
to
get
these
cafes
in
here
and
like
right
before
the
shower
Family
Foundation,
providing
equipment
and
helping
to
bring
the
service
off
the
ground.
So
what
we're
doing
is
this
truly
is
a
public-private
partnership,
eight
million
dollar
investment
by
the
city
of
Boston,
roughly
about
an
eight
million
dollar
investment
from
the
shop
Family
Foundation,
and
we're
working
to
make
sure
that
we
show
the
support
that
the
city
in
in
the
foundation
are
working
collectively
together.
B
This
isn't
a
one-way
relationship,
it's
a
two-way
relationship
and,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it's
about
benefiting
the
kids.
It's
about
making
sure
that
I
people
get
a
fresh
shot
in
the
morning
by
having
a
breakfast,
making
sure
that
our
kids
get
real
good,
strong
lunch
in
the
afternoon.
All
the
studies
and
everything
is
shown
that
when
young
people
are
fed
and
they
have
nutrients
in
their
body,
their
brains
work
better.
B
They
are
more
attentive,
they
work
with
the
teachers,
they
work
with
the
schools
and
it's
another
way
of
us
really
making
sure
that,
as
we
think
about
education
and
reforming
education,
it's
not
just
about
what's
happening
in
the
classroom.
It's
what's
happening
around
the
classroom
and
outside
the
classroom,
and
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
make
sure
that
our
young
people
get
all
the
support
that
they
need
to
move
forward.
B
B
B
Makes
you
last
longer
what
else
makes
you
do
something
else,
let's
make
you
do
when
you
eat
food?
Remember
this
first
grade
second
grade
now,
you're
in
fourth
grade:
what's
difference
between
you?
Yes,
you
grow.
You
grow
stronger
and
you're
better,
and
what
give
me
one
other
thing:
what
else
do
you
think
it
does
with
you?
If
you
can
have
food
in
your
brain
and
you
feel
good
in
classroom
and
you're
ready
to
go?
What
does
it
make
you
do
it
gives
you
something
energy,
what
else
back
make
sure
what
else?
B
Yes,
stamina,
what
else
think
about
it?
What
else?
What
happened
you
go
home
and
do
your
home
or
you
come
into
work,
the
next
school
the
next
day
you
are
you
ready
for
it?
Does
it
give
you
confidence
to
go
in
the
classroom
and
do
really
well
it
helps
you,
a
confidence,
so
see
all
that
stuff's
important
now,
you're
part
of
the
press
conference,
so
I'm
asking
you
questions
a
little
while
they're
gonna
be
asking
me
questions
so
I'm
practicing,
but
the
best
part
of
this
program.
It
respects
our
young
people.
B
This
is
something
that
is
exciting.
The
the
design
of
the
cafeteria
of
the
Capitol
cafe
is
to
make
it
look
good,
make
it
taste
good
that
young
people
come
in
and
see
something
really
different
in
their
school
and
understand,
appreciate
the
support
they
have.
Miss
Bryan
talked
a
little
bit
about
coming
to
the
school
a
couple
years
ago
and
seeing
the
old
desks,
and
they
were
nice.
They
were
great.
B
I've
sat
a
couple
times
now
my
way
cafe
and
had
lunch
in
a
couple
of
different
schools
and
I
absolutely
loved
it.
So
I
look
forward
to
being
back
here
in
September
having
lunch
with
you
guys
or
maybe
breakfast
I
haven't
had
breakfast.
Yet,
in
my
way,
cafe
so
I'm
looking
forward
to
breakfast
and
I
just
want
to
thank
everyone
who
made
this
happen.
I
want
to
thank,
and
let
people
know
about
'sons
reaffirmation,
to
making
sure
that
we
are
doing
everything
we
can
for
our
young
people.
I
want
to
thank
the
press.
B
B
These
companies
are
coming
to
our
city
with
the
help,
with
the
hope
and
understanding
that
the
talent
that's
available
in
the
future
for
working
comes
out
of
our
Boston
Public
Schools,
and
that's
why
we're
here
and
that's
why
we're
making
this
commitment
show
young
people
so
Kenny
school
I
want
to
say.
Thank
you.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
letting
me
be
here
today
and
I'm
gonna
turn
the
podium
over
to
the
superintendent
I've
bought
some
other
schools
and,
let's
give
her
a
nice
big
Kenny
welcome.
Laurel.
C
Good
morning,
everyone
this
is
such
an
exciting
celebration
of
the
future
for
all
of
the
students
here
at
the
Kenny
school,
but
I
want
to
start
out
by
talking
to
all
of
you.
You
are
the
fourth
graders
right
that
means
next
year,
when
you're
new.
My
way
cafe
is
open
here,
you're
going
to
be
the
leaders
of
this
school.
C
Aren't
you
so
now,
I
know
that
you
were
told
to
be
very
quiet
today
and
to
sit
very
carefully,
but
I
also
know
that
there's
a
very
special
thing
here
at
the
Kenny,
which
is
the
Kenny
Pledge.
Do
you
guys
all
know
that
now
against
the
other
rules,
you
might
have
been
told,
can
you
say
it
loud
and
proud
for
me?
Are
you
ready?
Let's
hear
the
Kenny
pledge.
D
C
So
I
know,
based
on
the
Kenny
pledge
that
the
leadership
and
behavior
and
warmth,
and
welcome
and
support
to
other
students
is
what
we'll
see
in
this
cafeteria,
while
you're
eating
delicious
food
and
getting
ready
for
your
school
days
and
your
afternoons.
I
am
I
want
to
thank
mayor,
Walsh,
the
SHA,
Fame,
Family
Foundation
and,
most
most
importantly,
the
Boston
Public
Schools
food
and
nutrition
staff
for
the
enormous
collaborative
work
to
make
this
my
way
cafe
program
possible
across
the
city
and
starting
next
year
here
at
the
Kenny
school
as
well.
C
This
has
been
a
huge
step
forward
for
the
health
and
wellness
of
our
students
across
the
city
and
we're
excited
that
even
more
students
in
Dorchester
and
South
Boston
will
have
access
to
fresh,
nutritious
food
through
my
way,
cafes,
like
schools
and
students
already
do
in
East,
Boston,
Matapan
and
Roxbury,
and
without
the
sort
of
collaboration
and
partnership
and
hard
work
that
we
see
here
today.
Great
ideas
like
my
way
Cafe
would
not
be
possible,
and
so
not
only
do
we
change
the
cafeteria,
but
the
entire
staff
works
differently
in
helping
my
way
cafe.
C
Roll
out
and
I
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
the
food
and
nutrition
staff
of
the
Boston
Public
Schools,
but
also
here
at
the
Kenny,
particularly
MS
Nancy,
who
I
understand,
runs
the
school
from
the
cafeteria
and
she
and
her
teammates
will
be
a
part
of
the
conversations,
the
food
choices
and
the
opportunity
to
interact
with
all
of
you
here.
While
you
are
enjoying
my
way
cafe,
we
are
the
entire
food
and
nutrition
staff
of
the
Boston
Public
Schools
has
embraced
these
reimagined
processes
in
our
caf.
C
As
my
way
cafe
rolls
out
across
the
city
to
provide
a
better
meal
experience
for
all
of
our
students.
This
is
really
beginning
to
pay
off.
It's
wonderful,
to
see
the
program
continuing
to
expand
to
areas
of
the
city
where
its
most
needed,
so
I
want
to
thank
Laura,
Benavidez,
our
director
of
food
and
nutrition
services
and
her
entire
team,
and,
as
we
continue
to
move
our
schools
into
the
21st
century,
with
the
furniture
you
heard
about
with
new
buildings
and
repairs
and
new
cafeterias.
C
We
know
that
we
have
a
responsibility,
of
course,
always
first
and
foremost
to
teaching
and
learning
in
academics,
but
the
fuel
for
that
work
also
happens
in
the
hallways
of
our
buildings
and,
in
our
my
way,
cafes
to
support
our
students
and
give
them
everything
they
need
so
that
they
can
be
focused
on
learning.
So
I
want
to
thank
all
the
partners
here
again.
The
mayor
Jill
Shaw
of
the
Shaw
Family
Foundation.
E
D
E
E
Because
all
of
this
is
going
to
be
a
kitchen
with
a
stove
and
sinks
and
prep
tables
and
slice
and
dice
and
cook,
and
then
there's
gonna
be
a
hot
and
cold
serving
line.
You
see
the
photographs
over
there,
but
there's
all
kinds
of
choices,
so
you
will
have
all
kinds
of
choices
and
I
heard
in
your
pledge:
there's
a
line
about
choices
and
that
you're
responsible
for
your
choices
next
year,
you
will
be
responsible
for
all
the
food
about
how
you
want
and
you
it's
you're,
even
more
responsible
for
education.
With
this
program
question.
E
E
E
B
B
B
Hi
can
I
tell
you.
I
went
to
the
Bradley
School
in
East,
Boston
and
I
ate
broccoli
and
I
like
broccoli
anyway,
but
it
was
the
best
broccoli
I
ever
eat.
In
my
life
they
had
tacos,
they
had
chicken
and
fish
tacos.
They
had.
You
could
pick
all
kinds
of
you
could
have
salad
if
you
want
salad,
if
you
didn't
want
to
eat
the
lettuce,
you
get
a
carrot
and
you
have
cucumbers,
you
get
a
celery,
it
was
unbelievable.
So
it's
really
really
good
in
the
water,
the
water.
Do
you
ever
go?
B
Anyone
ever
go
away
to
a
place.
They
have
like
water
with
like
oranges
in
it
and
Apple.
They
make
it
like
tea.
That's
what
you
have
here.
It's
gonna
be
unbelievable.
Yes,
the
walls
I
think
we're
going
to
clean
it
out.
I
want
to
talk
to
Brian's
back
there,
so
he
knows
he
has
to
do
a
little
special
in
this
school
and
that's
off
the
record
really
yeah
the
school.
Let
me
take
care
of
little
more,
so
it's
gonna
look
chummy
when
you
walk
trust
me
when
you
walk
in
here.
You
make.
B
Oh,
my
god,
what
it
looks
different.
Yes,
how
do
we
set
it
up?
So
we
have
to
do
now.
An
architect
designs
that
so
somebody
who
does
architecture
designs.
What
the
kitchen
will
look
like,
I
think
they're
going
to
knock
out
the
back
wall
and
they're
gonna
put
the
kitchen
in
place
and
they
think
about
like
wish
the
seats
go
when
how
should
it
work
and
then
NACA
tech
designs
it
and
then
what
happens?
It
comes
to
the
city
of
Boston
and
we
have
a
budget.
B
So
we
put
in
the
budget
how
much
we
think
it's
going
to
cost.
We
work
with
the
Shah
family
with
Jill
and
her
team,
and
they
say
this
is
equipment
we
have
to
buy
so
it's
a
whole
process,
it's
kind
of
like
it's
kind
of
like
going
to
school
in
a
class.
So
when
you
start
the
first
day
you
get
a
bunch
of
books,
you
don't
really
show
it's
in
the
books,
but
by
the
end
of
the
year
you
have
it
down.
B
B
Like
legit
everything
me
fresh,
like
there'll,
be
no
more
like
you,
you
won't
get.
You
won't
be
getting
like
this
plastic
container,
with
a
plastic
wrap
on
the
top
anymore,
you'll
be
actually
getting
going
in
walking
through
a
line.
Do
you
have
a
little
restaurant
and
like
go
to
like
a
cafeteria
walk
around?
That's
what
it
is.
You
walk
in
you're
gonna,
walk
up,
somebody's
behind
the
counter,
you're
gonna
say:
listen,
I!
Think
I'm
gonna
have
this
today.
I
want
like
to
have
this
today.
B
I
want
some
of
this
today
and
that's
it's
exactly
how
it
works
all
right.
One!
More
question:
oh
yeah!
Yes,
no
I
think
we're
keeping
this
wall
here.
Cuz
we
got
a
there's,
a
very
important
room
behind
me.
Isn't
there
yeah
yeah
we
get.
We
can't
mess
that
up
anybody
in
the
band
here
yeah.
We
can't
be
kind
of
a
bin,
so
we're
not
gonna
mess
up
the
music
room.
Yes,
you
are
I've.
B
Seen
you
marching
on
George's
today,
we're
all
gonna
be
marching
down
the
Avenue
together
right,
all
right,
any
questions
for
the
Presonus,
any
other
questions.
We
can
do
it
here.
If
you
want
we'll,
do
it
outside,
okay,
all
right,
listen!
Thank
you!
Tamizh
Brian!
Thank
you
to
the
teachers.
Thank
you
to
the
students,
thank
you

Jill
and
her
family

do
with
this
today.
Thank

Now

to
go
back
to
school
and
learn.
