## Case Study: # **One school’s journey from a contracted food service provider to a PTA-Run cafeteria ***(french below)***Kings County Academy** (KCA) is a pre-primary to grade 8 school located in Kentville, Nova Scotia. The school has an enrollment of 630 students and 70 staff members, and KCA is in an agriculturally rich community. However, the community has a child poverty rate of 23.4%, with many families having inadequate access to healthy, affordable food. KCA has a long history of a vibrant and dedicated Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and in 2019 they transitioned their Cafeteria service from a contracted food provider to being PTA run. This case study details how they made it happen, what they learned along the way, and the impact it's having on their school community. **Read the case study: **https://www.farmtocafeteriacanada.ca/2022/05/kings-county-academys-transition-from-a-contracted-food-service-provider-to-a-pta-run-cafeteria/Nourish NS #farm2school #localfood #schoolfood #schoolgarden #saladbar______## Étude de cas : # **Le parcours d’une école qui est passé d’un fournisseur de services alimentaires à une cafétéria gérée par l’APE ​​****Kings County Academy **(KCA) est une école allant de la maternelle à la 8e année située à Kentville, en Nouvelle-Écosse. L'école compte 630 élèves et 70 membres du personnel. La KCA est située dans une communauté riche en agriculture.
