A Letter of Thanks

Dear Editor, Winter has only officially been in the books for three weeks, and Mother Nature has shown us no mercy.

Bringing Local Foods to School Lunch

For almost a year, the school district has been working with the SDSU Extension 4-H Program office to explore using locally produced foods in our school nutrition program. This idea began when Audra Scheel brought a USDA Farm to School grant opportunity to the district.

Facilitating healthy exchange of ideas

Respiratory infections in the New Year
