 Values Statement

 

At our school we support a Farm to School program that creates a nourishing environment of wellness and a deep connection to community and the local food system*. We will promote shared values of cultural and historical recognition, inclusion, respect, and appreciation for people, food, land, and water and we will foster student enjoyment of learning, growing, preparing, and eating good food here at South Seneca and beyond.
