Farm to School — Know Your Foods

Topics:

Access to Healthy Foods, Community Involvement,  Success with Funds

With the support of our great community as well as the diligent work of our Food and Service Director, we have been able to provide breakfast at a free and reduced price for our students. The Nock Cafe has been re-established and students are offered healthy foods like fat-free yogurt, fruit and juices to start their day off on the right foot and be fueled for success in the classroom.

What improvements have you seen at your school?

Teachers have realized that students that typically were not eating breakfast for a variety of reasons have the opportunity to eat breakfast and start their day thinking about Math or other subjects versus thinking about their grumbling stomachs.
