Promote Your Child Nutrition Program on National Pie Day!

This year make your New Year’s Resolution to think outside of the box when it comes to your child nutrition program! The School Nutrition Association has lots of great resources to promote your school meal program and increase participation. And some of the most fun and easiest to implement are awareness weeks and promotional days, like National Pie Day, which is January 23^rd, 2013.

The School Nutrition Association suggests using National Pie Day to reinforce portion control and that small treats in moderation are a part of an overall healthy diet. You could have a culinary demonstration featuring healthy pie recipes and offer samples to try. You could even invite a local baker to lead the demonstration!
