Banks County Elementary School was awarded the Feed My School Grant! The funds from this federally funded grant will allow our School Nutrition Director, Mrs. Stacey Morgan, and our cafeteria staff to launch a full week of farm-to-school activities at Banks County Elementary with plans of hosting more farm-to-school events over the next couple of years.
Next week in our cafeteria, students will be able to eat food provided by local farmers. Friday will be our annual Career Day and will feature numerous local farmers. We feel very fortunate to have been awarded this grant and have the opportunity to teach our students about Georgia’s agriculture!
"The end result in the Feed My School for a Week program will be healthier Georgia students, decreased barriers in farm to school efforts and increased awareness as students learn and experience, both educationally and nutritionally, where their food comes from." - Commissioner Gary W. Black
