🚜🥕 Celebrating Farm to Kids Month!

October is Farm to Kids Month, and our Willmar Public Schools Food and Nutrition Services Department celebrated by hosting a special Farm to Kids event! Guests got an inside look at our department and how we partner with local farmers to bring fresh, locally sourced foods to our students.

The menu featured a delicious local meal of pulled chicken sandwiches, roasted potatoes, carrots and celery sticks, an apple, and a choice of milk — with every food product sourced from local farms! 🍎

We were excited to welcome the local farmers who supplied the meal, representatives from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture and Minnesota Department of Education, and other community partners to celebrate the connections that help feed our Cardinals.

We're proud to support local agriculture while providing nutritious meals for our students. Thank you to our farmers and partners for making Farm to Kids possible! ❤️🖤

🧡 Unity Day: Kindness in Action! 🧡

Our schools across the district celebrated Unity Day by coming together to spread kindness, build connections, and stand up against bullying! We’ll be sharing more photos and videos from across the district soon, but we had to highlight a special moment at Lakeland Elementary. ❤️

🎯 Teachers vs. Students: Tic-Tac-Toe Edition!

The teachers may have won the game, but our student team showed something even more important: kindness! After a small mess was made during the game, the students put aside the competition and worked together to clean it up. Their teamwork and selflessness didn’t go unnoticed. They earned a prize for their kindness! 🎉

Sometimes, the biggest win isn’t winning the game. It’s choosing to do the right thing and looking out for others. Way to go, Cardinals! 🖤
