22-23 WSC Whidbey Island Nourishes SWES Nutrition Program
 
 
 
Since 2014, students at the South Whidbey School District’s robust School Farms Program have been growing vegetables, using organic practices integrated with farm-based curriculum. Our expanding culinary and healthy snack programs helps connect students to good nutrition and better appreciate the food they are growing at the School Farm. Our member will be part of a robust team of farmers, educators, volunteers and community members who are supporting hands-on healthy eating options to South Whidbey students. Interviews for this position will be held in May.
