Isaiah Barnes is a born leader. When his classmates are talking at the wrong time or misbehaving in other ways, he is always the first to tell them to stop. Students always listen to what he asks them to do immediately because they respect him and follow his lead. Isaiah is always respectful, honest and can be counted on to set the proper example for his friends.

The
Tour de Fresh, a 275-mile, 3-day cycling event will take
place in California July 25-27 with eight cyclists riding for salad bars in
Fairfax County Public Schools!
The event is organized by the California Giant
Foundation and supports the national Salad Bars to Schools
initiative which has provided salad bars to over 5,000 schools nationwide over
the last six years. The Tour de Fresh has raised funds for 150 of those.
The 50 participants of
the Tour de Fresh, now in its fourth year, are produce industry cycling
enthusiasts, passionate about child nutrition and ensuring all students have
access to fresh fruits and vegetables every day at school. Each of the 50
cyclists selects a school district to support from a "salad bar waiting
list" provided by the Salad Bars to Schools initiative. Cyclists
raise funds from businesses, colleagues, family and friends. Now the Fairfax
community can support these riders by visiting the Tour website and sponsoring one of the FCPS
team (finds from all riders come back to FCPS).
"The
support of events like the Tour de Fresh and Salad Bars to Schools enables us
to fully realize our goal of having salad bars at every FCPS elementary
school," says FCPS Nutrition Services Director Rodney Taylor, "We're
very grateful to these riders, who are so passionate about getting more fresh
fruits and vegetables onto our students' plates."

Fairfax County Public
Schools currently has 20 salad bars across the district. Of these 20,
seven salad bars were funded by the Salad Bars to Schools initiative,
through donations made by United Fresh Start Foundation, a founding partner of
the Salad
Bars to Schools initiative and a member of the Tour de
Fresh organizing committee.
