People for People Charter School
The People for People Charter School offers children an opportunity to learn and develop in a secure, creative, and stimulating environment.
They focus on activity-based, high quality academic programs, planned around a child's developmental needs. It is important to us that every child receives the best education, care and attention possible. Our philosophy is based on personalized instruction that offers developmentally-appropriate, challenging learning activities, which encourage positive self-esteem and emotional well-being. The People for People Charter School seeks to relate a child's learning at school to dynamic problems in the larger world.

Chefs Train on Eatiquette Practices
In preparation for the launch of Eatiquette at PFPCS, the school chef spent a full afternoon training in the kitchen at Osteria. People for People's Chef worked closely with Chef Jeff Michaud, chef and owner at Osteria, and Vetri Foundation for Children Board Member. Michaud developed the Eatiquette program along with Chef Marc Vetri. The chefs worked together to master best practices on how to serve up healthy and tasty food for 500+ kids every day.
November 2011:
On November 22, 2011, The Vetri Foundation for Children joined People for People Charter school for "Eatiquette Kick Off Day." The school's 540 kids dined family style in "The View," a special events venue on the school's 8th floor. They enjoyed panko crusted baked chicken tenders, marinated green beans, mixed green salad and freshly sliced pineapple for dessert. One student remarked, "This is the best food I've ever tasted!" Every adult in the room was impressed with the children's excellent meal time behavior and the way they engaged with one another over good food. Special thanks to the volunteers from the Junior League who kept the front of the house running smoothly. Eatiquette will be an everyday occurrence at PFPCS starting in February 2012.
