Good Food for Oxford Schools

Good Food for Oxford Schools (GFOS) is an initiative of the Oxford School District in Oxford, Mississippi to improve cafeteria menus and simultaneously educate students and their families.

Overseen by the Food Services Department of the Oxford School System, GFOS leverages “farm to school” principles to bring local farm produce into school cafeterias that serve more cooked-from-scratch and fresh menu items.

Working in the classroom with students, and with families after school, GFOS teaches the importance of a nutrient-rich diet that utilizes local foods when available.

CPCS School Garden

 We have a school garden with a greenhouse and several raised beds for growing produce. Our produce is used to supplement our cafeteria salad bar. We also have two chickens Sunshine and Comet who eat some of our lunch scraps and help us put eggs on our salad bar.
