Happy New Year! We may be only halfway through the current school year, but a new calendar year is always a great chance to embrace a fresh start.

Major changes might need to wait for start of the new school year in the fall, but now is the perfect time to refresh and renew your sense of purpose for the year ahead.
In the spirit of a new year and new perspectives, this issue of School Nutrition is dedicated to sharing the facts on current school foodservice issues, plus fresh ideas and inspiring stories so you can head into 2026 with a positive, ready-for-anything attitude. You'll find insights on what the buzz about "clean" labels and foods is really about, the role of nutrient-dense dairy foods in a healthy diet, debunking persistent misinformation about modern school meals, why you should nominate yourself (or a peer) for a national SNA award and much more.
