Note from the kitchen:

Thank you to all the students and caregivers who shared love and appreciation with me at the end of the school year. It has been so strange to send meals out everyday without the daily interaction and feedback from students, so thanks for taking the time to let me know how much you enjoyed receiving school breakfast and lunch at home.

I would love to gather more constructive feedback and data on the food program as I envision how it can grow and improve this coming year. I urge everyone to take a moment to fill out this survey regarding the food program. Even if you don’t regularly participate in school meals, it would be great to have you fill out the survey so I can have a better understanding of why people choose to opt out and what changes/improvements might make you consider participating.

I also wanted to keep you informed about the Universal Free Meals Program that has been in effect across Vermont since the end of March. Many of us in the state are advocating for the program to continue beyond the summertime and are hopeful our school will continue to provide free meals to all families in the fall. Studies show that universal free school meal programs increase participation, leading to better student health and learning. When participation is up, school meal programs have more resources to invest in higher quality food, including more local foods.

I will keep you updated when we have more information at the end of the summer!

Happy summer and thanks for taking the time to fill out this quick survey!
