Oct.5-9 was Farm-to-School Week, an annual program coordinated by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) and the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE).

To celebrate at Ocean Lakes Elementary School (OLES), Rita Kennedy dresses the part to promote “farm to table” in the OLES cafeteria. Additionally, the Virginia Beach Office of Food Services hosted salad bars at Kellam High, North Landing Elementary and Glenwood Elementary with produce all brought in from Virginia farms.
