Since we last gathered, so much progress has been made to include student choice and voice in decisions, incorporate more local items on the cafeteria menu, build a District-wide Farm to School network, and bring programming up to the Middle and High schools. But we recognize that a culture shift in how we value healthy food is necessary for lasting impact. Join us to explore how we can shift the culture to value healthy food as a foundation for learning.

Schedule:

8:30-9:00: gathering and refreshments
9:00-12:00: Updates on progress, Food Service 101, breakout discussions
12:00-1:00: Lunch

Breakout discussions:

Student Choice and Voice: a student-led discussion about shifting the culture around school food.

Composting Food Waste: what we’ve learned so far about composting District-wide, and how we can shift the culture around sorting our waste.

Family Engagement: a caretaker-led discussion about how families can help improve school food.

Community Advocacy: a discussion on how we can organize and advocate for a culture shift at NPS.

The 2020 Farm to School Summit is generously sponsored by several sponsors: the United States Department of Agriculture, the Northampton Education Foundation, and Cooley Dickinson Health Care.
