School Cafeterias

Fish to Schools

Fish to Schools works toward a sustainable community that offers all school children the health benefits of locally-caught seafood, equips them to understand how this food source is obtained, and empowers them to one day enjoy the full cultural and economic advantages of local seafood resources. Local seafood is served in grades K-12 and is paired with a "stream to plate" curriculum that brings salmon alive in the classroom. Lessons empower students to make food choices that benefit not just their bodies but also their local communities, economies, and environment.
