Virtual Back to School Night with White House Chef Sam Kass and Food and Nutrition Service Administrator Audrey Rowe

Food and Nutrition Service Administrator Audrey Rowe talks with Byram Middle School students in Terry, Mississippi during their lunch period following a ceremony in which their school received a HealthierUS School Challenge Gold Award.

School lunches will have a whole new look this year as part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) updated nutrition standards for school meals. As parents, it can be difficult to navigate what these changes mean. Join National PTA President Betsy Landers, White House Chef Sam Kass, the Kids' Safe and Healthful Foods Project, and USDA for a live discussion about the exciting new meals coming to school cafeterias!
