Summer Garden Support
Help us maintain the Winnequah Children's Garden this summer. Many of our students helped fill our garden space with a variety of plants this year, and we hope they are able to enjoy the fruits of their labor this fall!
Sign up here to help with some maintenance and watering this summer!

Support the School Lunch Program
Don't forget to check lunch menus and have your student's take school lunch! Supporting the school lunch program will allow us to continue to grow and improve!
Your student may qualify for free/reduced meals at school. Apply on the Monona Grove School Nutrition website under the "Resources and Forms" tab.
Volunteer
Throughout the year there will be opportunities for parents and families to get involved at our schools. Volunteers are also needed for some of our in school activities and special events.

Contribute
There are also opportunities to get involved by contributing to some of our F2S materials. Every month our Farm to School newsletter aims to engage our families in all things foods and nutrition. If you have a recipe you would like to share, a resource, or are interested in suggesting topics around the topic of food contact Wes!
Do you know any local farmers or producers? We are always looking to make more local connections to our food through classroom engagements with farmers, local taste tests, and getting more local foods onto our students' trays.
Donate
The farm to school program is brand new and will continue to expand throughout the year. We are working to securing additional funds and supplies for projects currently through grant applications and upcoming fundraising events. As we work to build or expand garden areas at our schools for example, donations of garden supplies and materials from our community could greatly enhance the students access to and the impact of garden activities!
If there are farm to school components you are interested in donating to please reach out to Wes!
Updates on current projects coming soon!
