New Resource: Safe, Nutritious School Meals
The National School Nutrition Association (SNA) created a new marketing resource to help promote school meals to families as students head back to school. Safe, Nutritious School Meals – Something You can Count on for SY 2020-21 is a shareable flyer that includes details and links to help reassure parents and the community that school meals continue to be a safe, nutritious choice to fuel student success during the 2020-21 school year. Download the flyer to share with stakeholders along with details on your program—whether you are serving curbside, in the classroom or the cafeteria this year.
