In this new video, Senior Policy Advisor for Healthy Food Initiatives Sam Kass discusses the Chefs Move to Schools project, a key component of Let's Move! that matches professional chefs to schools. This Friday, Day 2 of the Let's Move! second anniversary tour, First Lady Michelle Obama will spotlight Chefs Move with a visit to the Nancy Moseley Elementary School in Dallas, Texas. She'll announce a new coalition that will work together to expand Chefs Move, which will be made up of "leaders from the school and nutrition side" and "chefs and professional culinary organizations," Kass says onscreen. The video will be posted on a new website, www.ChefsMoveToSchools.org, which will debut on Friday.

Chefs Move, launched in June of 2010, is currently overseen by the US Department of Agriculture, and has not had its own website. There are currently 3,400 chefs and 3,350 schools signed up to participate, and Mrs. Obama is hoping the project will grow exponentially.

Kass will be with Mrs. Obama during her three-day anniversary tour, which begins tomorrow. In Dallas, they'll by joined by chefs from Bravo’s hit series Top Chef , including host Tom Colicchio, and members of the Dallas Cowboys. THE LET'S MOVE! TOUR SCHEDULE.
