🍎 We're proud to see NJSNA's own Public Policy & Legislation Chair, Sal Valenza, featured by the School Nutrition Association in recognition of National School Lunch Week!
As Sal points out, there's often a significant disconnect between how school meal programs are perceived in Washington and the realities faced by the professionals running them every day.
Across New Jersey, dedicated school nutrition teams work tirelessly to provide students with nutritious meals while navigating rising costs, operational challenges, and the evolving needs of their school communities. Their work is essential, and their firsthand experiences deserve to be part of the conversation.
Thank you to Sal for lending his voice and expertise to this important discussion, and to SNA for helping bring greater awareness to the realities of school nutrition!
