Alaska First Lady Sandy Parnell was in Sitka on Wednesday to honor a program that offers local fish lunches to students. The Fish to Schools Program grew out of a health summit in Sitka two years ago when someone suggested serving local fish in school cafeterias.
The project is led by the Sitka Conservation Society and NANA Management, which handles the school lunch program for the Sitka School District.
Fish to Schools was named the best farm-to-school program in the state for this school year.
