July/August 2025 Issue

As you head into the new school year ahead of us, it’s always helpful to remember that with every challenge comes an opportunity—an opportunity to grow, to learn, and to do things differently than you did before. Sometimes you don’t even know how much you can accomplish until you really consider what motivates you and step outside your comfort zone. So, log into your SNA account and take a look at our coverage found in the July/August 2025 edition of School Nutrition. Here’s what you’ll find:

• Meet SNA President Stephanie Dillard: SNA’s new president, Stephanie Dillard, wants to encourage you to step outside your comfort zone and be a hands-on, involved volunteer for your own benefit and the benefit of those around you.
• Student Chefs Compete for Liftoff: Ten students took part in the out-of-this-world HUNCH Culinary Challenge to see who could create a delicious and nutritious pasta option for astronauts aboard the International Space Station.
• National Award Recipients: What’s Their Why?: Every school nutrition professional’s story is unique, and these four winners of the SNA membership awards are sharing the personal motivations that drive them in this special line of work.
• Food Focus: On a Roll with Grab-and-Go Wraps: These versatile handhelds can accommodate all kinds of healthy ingredients for a meal or hearty snack that’s perfect for busy students.
