Breakfast in the Classroom

Next week, approximately 900 school nutrition professionals from across the country will gather in Washington, D.C. for SNA’s 47th annual Legislative Action Conference.

SNA is urging Congress and President Trump to resolve the federal government shutdown before any lapse in school meal funding occurs. Earlier this month, USDA confirmed that states were provided adequate funds to support school meal programs through the month of March.

SNA’s 2019 Position Paper calls on Congress and the Administration to bolster school meal programs and minimize regulatory burdens.

Following the announcement of a final rule on school meal flexibilities, SNA lauded Sec. Perdue for responding to feedback while ensuring students have access to appealing, nutritious meals.

SNA CEO Patricia Montague, CAE, has been selected to receive the national 2019 FAME Silver Friend of Child Nutrition Award.

SNA has released the School Nutrition Operations Report: The State of School Nutrition 2018, based on survey responses from 1,550 school nutrition directors nationwide.

During its 72nd Annual National Conference, SNA installed Gay Anderson, SNS, as president for the 2018-2019 school year. Anderson is Child Nutrition Director for Brandon Valley School District (SD).

On July 10, SNA’s Annual National Conference in Las Vegas will open doors on the nation’s largest exhibit of foods, beverages, equipment and resources for school cafeterias.
