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.

"Growing Your Own Produce" - Our Community, Our commitment

 At Chad Varah Primary School all our teaching and learning is project-based and from February to June 2013 the topic in our Year 6 class is based on growing your own produce. Everything we are learning about is focused around this topic whether it has a maths focus to an art focus. We are aiming to grow our own fruit and vegetables to harvest in June as we are planning on entering a local school's challenge set by organisers of the Lincolnshire Show.

Billy Mitchell Elementary School

Billy Mitchell Elementary School is one of eight schools in the Lawndale Elementary School District, Los Angeles County, California. We are continuously evolving our curriculum and instructional program to meet the needs of our students. A reflection of that is in our garden and nutrition program. All of our students are the stewards of this garden under the guidance and supervision of our Master Gardener and parent and community volunteers. Experience has taught us that student ownership of a garden is a key to success.
