Tootie Fruity Nutty Buddies
The Tootie Fruity Nutty Buddies of Gold River in Sacramento County, California are a prime example of learning by doing. For the past six years the group's leader, Carolyn Ricchiuto, has led meaningful, hands-on learning experiences and projects completing a different chapter of the JMG Level One Teacher/Leader guides allowing her youths to earn various JMG Golden Ray Series certifications.
Each year the group connects the JMG curriculum in a meaningful way to a community service project that they together plan and implement. This year they are covering Fruits and Nuts and are focusing everything they do around this chapter. Most recently, the Tootie Fruity Nutty Buddies harvested oranges and lemons then donated all the fruit to the local community food closet. The group's student leader, Rachel, has been with the group from the beginning and has found that the JMG program is not only educational, but also just a lot of fun! (
