🌱 Celebrating Our Farm to School Success! 🌽
We’re excited to share some wonderful news with our Cobden families! Nurse Holly has created an amazing presentation that highlights all the incredible progress our district has made this year through our Farm to School initiative.
Thanks to the passion and dedication of our staff, students, and community partners, we've grown more than just produce- we’ve grown opportunities for hands-on learning, healthier eating, and stronger connections to our local farmers.
Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm as we plant seeds for a healthier future!
