Inspired By Generations: When Child Nutrition Runs in the Family
A home-cooked meal, a caring grandparent, a godmother who worked in the school cafeteria—these are just a few core memories cited by school nutrition professionals who have “inherited” their passion for child nutrition. We asked members where they found their “why,” and they shared personal stories and inspiration that fuel the important work they do each day.
The Way Your Grandmother Made It
Most people have fond memories of childhood meals and family recipes that have shaped how they understand the meaning behind a meal today, and school nutrition professionals know better than most that a good meal is much more than just food. Now, three SNA members share how their own family food traditions have shaped how they approach school meals and serving students today.
Harvest Highlights
Eight SNA members share how they’re bringing local, seasonal harvests to the tray and connecting students with the communities behind their food, whether it’s produce grown in their own school gardens or ingredients sourced from local farms.
