National Nutrition Month
School nutrition professionals help keep students healthy and ready to learn! The school meals they plan, prepare, and serve are based on federal nutrition standards, and they give children and adolescents important nutrients for proper growth and development.
During the pandemic, school nutrition staff rose to the challenge to meet the nutritional needs of students. Using CDC’s COVID-19 guidance, they:
• Implemented layered prevention strategies.
• Modified physical spaces and meal distribution methods.
• Navigated supply chain challenges to safely prepare and serve school meals.
To celebrate National Nutrition Month, we asked school nutrition professionals about their experiences maintaining this lifeline for families and safely operating school meal programs. Check out and share our featured school nutrition staff posts on Twitter and be sure to leave a comment to congratulate them on a job well done.
Visit our website to learn more about the importance of school nutrition and school meal programs.
