October is Farm to School Month. Our food service department utilizes a few of our local producers, and we would like to showcase one today.
Pat-N-Tam's Beef supplies a variety of animals products, including beef, port, and poultry. They raised their beef on pasture with access to vegetable screenings from a frozen vegetable plant. They believe in beef with no added hormones. The beef sold has never been fed antibiotics. It is federally inspected. They have never fed any animal proteins to our cattle, even when it was legal to do so.
They are a family owned business who support their local community and participate in various farmer's markets.
Stanfield School District Board of Directors will be holding their regular monthly meeting tomorrow, Wednesday, October 14, 2020, beginning at 6pm.
On September 1, 2020, the Governor issued Executive Order No. 20-38, which rescinded Executive Order No. 20-16. EO 20-16 required public bodies to hold public meetings and hearings by telephone, video, or other electronic or virtual means, “whenever possible.”
Those attending in-person public meetings must maintain social distancing of six or more feet between individuals, wherever possible. Additionally, all those attending public meetings must comply with the Oregon Health Authority’s Statewide Mask, Face Covering, Face Shield Guidance.
As a result of the above, we will conduct our meeting over Zoom and in-person. Please let the District know ahead of time if you wish to attend in-person, as we have limited space to maintain the social distancing. As stated, please wear a face covering.

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) serves nearly 30 million children every school day. President John F. Kennedy created National School Lunch Week (NSLW) in 1962 to promote the importance of a healthy school lunch in a child’s life and the impact it has inside and outside of the classroom. The COVID-19 pandemic has without a doubt shown just how incredibly important school meals are for students and their families.

October is National Farm to School Month, an annual 31-day campaign to recognize, appreciate and celebrate the connections happening across the country between kids, families and their community food systems. National Farm to School Month was designated by Congress in 2010, making this year’s campaign the 10th anniversary of National Farm to School Month celebrations. However, this October is looking very different than the previous nine years.
Stanfield School District participates in this program which affords our district the funds and opportunity to support our local economy. We are able to purchase from local farmers, ranches and processing companies. We use those foods in a variety of meals currently being delivered and pick-up by students and parents.

The 2020 Census is still happening, and it’s not too late to make sure everyone in your household is counted.

Responding to the Census helps ensure these programs reach those in our community who need them.
