High Rocks and Fayette County Child Nutrition
 
 
 
Our ultimate goal is to include all children in the breakfast, lunch and after school programs. We strive to increase the number of students that will eat the nutritious, well-balanced meals the cooks prepare each day. The student will benefit by improved attendance, better attention span and improved over-all health.

Member Duties : The AmeriCorps member will provide information to Fayette County schools on the local WV farm raised foods they receive to serve on their cafeteria lines and talk with students during lunch about the local products and farms they came from. The member will coordinate planting, care, and harvesting demonstrations provided by local farmers who are supplying our cafeterias. The member will serve with non-profit farms to set up Pop Up Farmer’s markets at all the Elementary schools in county. These markets help kids exercise freedom in choosing their fruits and vegetables. After a Pop Up Market children often try fruits and vegetables they wouldn’t have otherwise. The AmeriCorps member will also mentor with the county Agriculture Education Instructor to provide the support and education needed for High School students to orient their Supervised Agricultural Experiences next summer to provide produce for the Summer Food Service Program and National School Lunch Program in the Fall.
