Celebrate Virginia Farm to School Week, October 6–10, 2025.
October is National Farm to School Month, a time to celebrate nationwide connections between schools, early care and adult centers, and local farms! Virginians celebrate Virginia Farm to School Week during the first full week of October to kick off the month.
Farm to school enriches the connection communities have with fresh, healthy food and local food producers by changing food purchasing and education practices at schools and early care settings. Agriculture is Virginia's largest private industry, and supporting local farms increases employment opportunities and community food security while providing the freshest food for all learners.
During Virginia Farm to School Week, the "Crunch Heard' Round the Commonwealth" will make some noise for Virginia farm to school programs on Thursday, October 9. Students, families, schools, farms, education centers, and community members can learn how to build upon farm-to-school programming in their communities by visiting the Virginia Department of Education, Office of School and Community Nutrition Programs Farm to School webpage.

Hello BCPS Families and Community members,
Please listen closely to the following information, as some changes have been made for the Knights' Armor Food Pantry, effective immediately.
First: The pantry will be closed on the 2nd Friday of EACH month.
Second change: Scheduled pick-ups MUST be made by 3:00 pm on the Thursday BEFORE the desired Friday pick-up. Appointments requested after that will be scheduled for next Friday's pick-up.
Thank you for your support as we work to help serve our students and community.
I am pleased to announce the official opening of the Knights' Armor Food Pantry. While the pantry is housed at our High School location, it is open to all Buckingham County residents, regardless of age or student affiliation.
The pantry offers a wide selection of non-perishable food items, including:
Canned fruits and vegetables
Pasta, potatoes, rice, and beans
Breakfast cereals and oats
And more
Hours of Operation:
Fridays, 8:30 AM – 2:30 PM
To schedule a pick-up time, please contact Ms. Richardson (school social worker) at (434) 969-6100 ext. 22112.
For emergency food needs, individuals may contact their student's school counselor or administrator to coordinate an emergency pick-up.
Please be on the lookout for a flyer coming home with your student for reference to the details above.
If you're crafty or a kitchen wizard and you have items to sell, the fee is $25 and that goes directly to the school to fund all the fun things we want to do this year! We are providing full length (12 foot) cafeteria tables, or you can bring your own.
We are also seeking Food Trucks!!!
Contact the following for an application or stop by the school:
lruffner@bcpschools.org; cmorris@bcpschools.org or dterrell@bcpschools.org
If you are not crafty, please come and buy something! This will be a great place to pick up holiday gifts and we will really appreciate your support.
