to bring relevance and rigor to high school education in Central Vermont. CSS uses the food system as the vehicle to deliver purposeful, experiential lessons, across a variety of academic disciplines, and sustainability as a cross-cutting theme enabling deeper curricular integration through the lens of social, ecological, and economic need. Service learning-based projects, developed by certified teachers in their respective disciplines, will be carried out at the Two Rivers Center farm in Montpelier. A trained farm manager and program director will provide technical support and logistical coordination. Summer programming offering academic credit and stipends will be the only one of its kind in the region. The food produced through the CSS will be sold through student-run businesses and provided to community organizations serving those in need.
