UCC05_L1_001MThe School Nutrition Association has released a 2013 toolkit with over ten pages of tips and resources to help you participate in this week’s festivities.  Among the bevy of good advice within the toolkit, the main focus is involvement.  The SNA wants the students to feel like they are the focus of this year’s National School Lunch Week’s celebration. Tips in the toolkit include student surveys for the week’s lineup of meals, and regional inspiration.

And don’t forget about the parents!

The SNA has teamed up with Kiwi Magazine to create a national “Take Your Parents to Lunch Day” on Wednesday, the 16th.  Think seeing is believing?  Let parents get a taste of the healthy options provided to their children at lunch time, and they’ll understand first hand the importance of a nutritious school lunch.
