Super Bakery’s 22 Seconds Society in Memory of Franco Harris first-time attendee scholarship
“This was my first time experiencing ANC, and I absolutely loved it! The food show was so fun, and the classes were wonderful, but overall, the most meaningful experience is building relationships with other people who do what you do and care about what they are doing every day!”
Why School Nutrition?
What do I love most about my job? Am I not allowed to say everything?! But really, I love most is that we are able to serve much more than meals; we have the opportunity to build relationships with students and give them a bright, healthy future and a welcoming, safe environment when they are at school. Not only that, but we are able to provide relationships and opportunities to our own team members.
Bringing It Back to My District
I came back with several ideas from ANC, the biggest takeaways include branching out to process with new vendors to give our students even more global options. Also, you first must invest in yourself and your team to make the biggest difference.
The Impact of This Scholarship
The SNF conference scholarship allowed me to experience growth on a whole new level! Since my district is small, I enjoyed meeting up with larger districts to learn about their program and how to alter what they do to fit our needs.
