Last year, there were over 35 unique languages spoken at home by the families of our students. And about half of our students are from low-income families, receiving free or reduced lunch. It’s a beautiful and amazing collective of diversity that is incredibly rare to occur in any one school. Last year, we partnered with Bayside/MLK’s Conscious Kitchen to bring a healthy lunch program to the students, administration and teachers. Studies show that children who have a healthy snack and lunch are more likely to succeed in school. The Conscious Kitchen lunch program is focused on FLOSN: Fresh, Local, Organic, Sustainable, Non-GMO. And we’ve helped to make history...Sausalito/Marin City School District is the first in the nation to provide a FLOSN meal for a district of students. The students have been thrilled with the new lunch program, creating a demand for cooking classes, and a robust garden/nutrition program. It makes sense for Willow Creek to support garden/nutrition since we have four gardens on campus. The difficulty is maintaining those gardens without a budget. Thankfully, a group of teachers, parents and grandparents lead the charge to keep them thriving.

Age Friendly Sausalito ACTION PLAN Unveiled The number of Sausalito residents aged 60 and older increased by 72% in the decade between the 2000 and 2010 censuses. Take a moment to let that set in . . . 72%. Sausalito is one of the fastest aging cities in the County and Marin County is the fastest aging county in the State. According to the most recent Marin Grand Jury Report on aging released on June 18, 2014, one in four Marin County residents is aged 60 and older and by the year 2030, the number will increase to one in three. In April 2013 it became important to a group of Sausalito citizens to address these growing statistics and plan for the future of our City to ensure that it will always be accessible and inclusive to its residents. The mission that was created and presented to the City Council was “to move Sausalito forward as an Age Friendly City so that its residents can actively age in place. A community that is better for older adults is a community that is better for everyone.” Within months, the citizen group was appointed by a unanimous vote of the City Council as the newly formed Age Friendly Sausalito Task Force and their work began to unfold.
