(Editor's note: This is the first story in a series on school nutrition in the Olympic Region.)
LAKE PLACID - Schools in the Olympic Region continue to adopt farm-to-school principles in the cafeteria and the classroom, partly to meet state and federal requirements and partly because, as they say, it's the right thing to do.
Educators in the region share the same ideology that's driving school nutrition reforms throughout the nation. They want to serve children healthier food options in schools and establish food-related education into the regular curriculum. A number of initiatives are in place, some more local than others, yet the goal of raising healthier children is the same for all.
