Join Us for our Dinner and a Movie fundraiser!
Bill Paxton, James Paxton, TV Host Claud Mann and Chef Jeri Oshima!
Our "Dinner & a Movie" event will take place at 4 pm on January 28th at the Ojai Playouse. Ojai's very own Bill Paxton will screen his film "The Greatest Game Ever Played" featuring Shia LeBeouf and directed by Mr. Paxton. Claud Mann, star of TBS' "Dinner & A Movie", will moderate a Q & A with Mr. Paxton, and actor James Paxton, after the showing followed by a special, locally grown dinner by Ojai chef Jeri Oshima at the Ojai Women's Club with a live auction.
Our first Dinner and a Movie event in 2004 with actor Tony Shaloub was a sell-out, so don't delay. Use the Add to Cart button below to purchase movie tickets for $20/person. All dinner tickets have been purchased. All tickets purchased after January 21st will be held at will call.
If you have questions about the event please email us at info@foodfortoughtojai.org

Our Program

School Food We are working with OUSD school food service to get as much seasonal, fresh and local produce into all school meals. |
 |
Nutrition Education 3rd graders receive three nutrition education lessons throughout the school year that focus on increasing awareness of the different food groups. 6th graders receive three nutrition education lessons that focus on making healthy choices within the different food groups. |
 |
Garden Based Learning K and 1st graders do a garden-based learning project that focuses on a multisensory approach. 5th graders plant a Colonial Kitchen Garden, learning how colonial era families depended on their home gardens for food, medicine and other needs. |
 |
5R'sReduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rot & Rethink! 2nd graders focus on ways to reduce trash by learning how to make a trashless lunch, separate trash for recycling, and separate green waste from the salad bar in order to make and maintain worm bins to generate topsoil for the garden. |
 |
Agricultural Literacy 4th graders take field trips to local farms to learn directly from the farmer about the joys and work involved in growing food. |

Rowing the Rainbow Bridge
It was all part of an effort to raise money for the non-profit organization Food for Thought. White’s trip contributed $2,500 toward FFT’s goal of $3,500 to fund a program called Farm Field Trips, which takes all fourth-graders in
the Ojai Unified School District on field trips to local farms.
