Auburn Union School District

Recognizing the importance of nutritious meals in children's development and academic success, the district prioritizes the integration of locally sourced and healthy food options in their school meals programs. By partnering with local farmers, implementing farm-to-school initiatives, and engaging students in garden-based learning, the Auburn Union School District cultivates a deep connection between students, food, and the environment. This emphasis on the local food community not only promotes healthier eating habits but also supports local agriculture, fosters environmental awareness, and instills a sense of community pride. The district's commitment to the local food ecosystem enhances the overall well-being of students, strengthens community partnerships, and serves as an example of sustainable education practices.
