SCHOOL NUTRITION NEWSLETTER
Message from the Director
Labor Day was created 141 years ago to celebrate the impact American workers make on the development and achievements of the United States. When I think about this, I am reminded that you directly impact the development and achievements of students. The School Nutrition Association's new educational awareness campaign, Made with School Lunch, is designed to show the positive outcomes of students being fueled by nutrient rich meals at school. Think about all the successful generations of students you've fed and who are now leading our country. If the Department of Defense recognized complications of poor nutrition as a matter of national security, you can be proud of the role you play in developing healthy, successful Americans. You definitely feed the future!
With gratitude,
Kathy
