Reminder: Local foods for school lunch talk

Dilbone to Speak on Getting Local Foods into School Lunch Programs

On Wednesday January 11, Chuck Dilbone, Director of Operations at Granville Schools, will speak on how Granville successfully incorporated local foods into their schools and offer suggestions for Yellow Springs to incorporate local foods.

This program takes place at 7 pm in the High School Library.

Said Dilbone, “We realized our cafeteria didn't match our wellness policy. We wanted to provide our students with fresh cooked meals with local products. Before this initiative, only 22 percent of our students purchased school meals. We now serve 65 percent of our kids. I firmly believe every school district can do this to some extent."

Please come to this important event to hear Granville’s success story. For more information, contact Beth Bridgeman at 768-7240.
