Superintendent’s Update: The LMCS’s Farm-to-School Program was highlighted in a recent Cornell Cooperative Extension statewide publication. Stephen Rogers, food service director, explained how fresh local products have been flash-frozen for future school use, and bread is baked in house every day, all of which has increased the number of students eating the school’s prepared food.

Stronger Connections Grant: These funds are intended to support high-need local education agencies in establishing safe, healthy and supportive learning opportunities while responding to and preventing the acts of bullying, violence and hate that impact school communities.
