DESCRIPTION
Howard-Winneshiek Community School District is located in Cresco, Iowa, the boyhood home of Dr. Norman Borlaug. They celebrate Dr. Borlaug every fall with a weekend celebration that also brings attention to the needs of children in the district, country, and world. The district has a high percentage of students qualifying for free and reduced price meals, and also offers a summer feeding program which is free to any child from preschool age to 18 years. They also participate in the backpack buddies program, which supplies students with meals over the weekend when they are not in school.
Howard-Winneshiek Community School District has strived for years to introduce students to healthier eating habits. These efforts were honored last year when the district was awarded the HealthierUS School Challenge Gold Award. The first entire school district to receive this award, Howard- Winneshiek Community School District is noted nationally as one of the healthiest schools in the nation.
