Foundation for Healthy Schools

A customized win/win school application engaging all stakeholders, from Ministries or State Departments of Education, to the school boards, communities, and industry, to the principals, teachers, parents and their children attending these fundamental societal institutions.

SMEs working with industry and project sponsors help cultivate the produce for the best possible school lunch programs in the nation, while increasing student retention of curriculum studies through the hands-on doing, and uses the extra produce cultivated to self-finance extra-curricular activities

THE GOAL: INSPIRE A PROACTIVE WELLNESS APPROACH TO ESTABLISH THE HEALTH FOUNDATION FOR A CHILD's ENTIRE LIFE

★★★★★

Cultivating and empowering children's health through nutrition, knowledge, and nature.

Cultivating Healthy Futures Together

When it comes to the health of our kids, all adults have a role to play. Nutritional deficiencies, ultra-processed "foods", "foods" and drinks laced with sugar, and chemical additives lead to an overtaxed immune system and negative influences in cellular metabolism. Ingesting these unhealthy products can make people sick. The developing minds and bodies of our kids are even more vulnerable. These harmful consumer products are robbing the kids of their potential. The present food models do not fit the need and it is not setting our kids up for success. The Foundation for Healthy Schools is a program designed to fill the gaps in need.

Our Introductory Release

Our Executive perspective, produced by Dr. Randall S. Hansen

Introduction - September 22, 2024

This is a detail of the Foundation for Healthy Schools with perspectives of our Executive Team.

2 Step Program

Bringing together subject matter experts in horticulture, risk, food safety, healthcare, education, public administration, and project management to integrate school application potentials. It is a win/win, lead-by-example approach to inspire and motivate students to reach their potentials.

Implementation and Facilitation

Second step is where the Foundation SMEs become intermediaries between stakeholders to bring the application potential to reality. Expertise will collaborate with stakeholders (students, parents, teachers, school boards, politicians, healthcare professionals, urban planners, and industry) to devise the cultivation system for the best school lunches, while innovating curriculum teachings with the cultivation for exponential retention possibilities.

Presentations

First step is to coordinate stakeholders through a presentation event. Health subject matter experts (SMEs) will detail the human and web of life relationships based on what goes into the body temple. The horticultural and life associations are highlighted in respect of curriculum teachings. This encourages the conversation to contemplate program application potentials.

Increase in Retention Rates

Statistics show that the hands-on practical application increases the retention rates of students. We anticipate students involved in this school application will see a dramatic increase in their grades.

Reconnecting to Nature

Kids seem to be disconnected from the entire living process from seed to maturity. This program allows the kids to learn the intricacies of life and living. Hands-on innovation allows the kids to connect the dots through health and science teachings related to the living process.

Parent and Teacher Connection

Kids can spend as much time at school as they do at home. Parents want to assure their children are safe and learning what will build the foundation of their lives and futures. Teachers want the same. It is hard to capture this attention when consumed in a digital world. Cultivating plants as a form of teaching, while growing the produce for school lunches, is a win / win relationship between the parents, teachers, and schools.

Community Outreach

Taxpayers in conjunction with government representatives will collaborate to prioritize a kids first, health first application. This creates a win/win relationship between all stakeholders. This positive engagement is attractive to the community and offers a platform where investors and sponsors will get traction from their financial contribution. This innovative program connects the public and private sectors built around the purpose of a human being.

The Executive

We are growing and diversifying our Executive and Advisory of industry expertise. We are also offering a place for those who have a true passion for this legacy project to become Foundation Ambassadors wanting to help us make a difference in the future of humanity.

Gregory Bundschoks,
Executive Director
For over 37 years, a unique skillset was built around farming, athletics, health and nutrition, information processing, insurance and risk management, finance and securities, commercial contracts, law, political studies, and project management. Talents developed include the ability to connect the dots through multiple disciplines. The experiences helped Gregory to analyze the quality of the mind behind the act to identify the mechanisms of function.

Over the last 5 years, Gregory's work has been focused on food security, cultivation models for producing healthy foods, food security systems, cultivation optimizations, and supply chain analysis highlighting a horrific 30+% food waste. During this time, he built a research application to connect epigenetic signaling with phytochemical changes in plants. He also built the business plan, accounting and proformas, risk assessment, and feasibility study for one of the largest planned vertical farming operations in the world. This evolved into the most optimized closed environment agriculture innovation, with patent filings underway.

His present work is a kindred mission of the executive, which involves finding solutions to an unprecedented health crisis. This is where the original idea of "screentime to greentime" was formulated, as the foundation of healthy schools.

During this time he developed high performing companies as a coordinating fiduciary. These high-level relationships and experiences helped Nick to thrive in providing company resource solutions through rapid growth and restrictive markets. His underlying desire to serving others is a higher-power calling, with a passion to effect change. Resultantly, in 2021, Nick stepped away from providing mainstream corporate solutions to focus on that calling through environmental restoration and human health through nutrition. The calling and service orientation identifies a deep alignment and connection with Nature and our Creator. This combined with his professional experience and his function as a concerned parent makes Nick a true kindred soul in supporting the Foundation's solutions through the schools. A high integrity and compassionate service man is validated by his Honorable service to the U.S. Marine Corps.
