Most of our school teams are rebooting over the summer, but we know they continue to think of fresh ideas. Enter Riceville Community School District, where Nancy Eastman and her innovative crew showcased the elementary school's first farmers market. An engaged community united to introduce youngsters to healthy, home-grown foods and earned this year's Golden Root Award. Kudos to Riceville for centering on local food in the cafeteria, transitioning to scratch cooking and growing vegetables for the salad bar to further reinforce a commitment to providing wholesome, nutritious meals for students.
