Submit a success story

Help SNA spread the word about the successes in school nutrition in your district and nationwide. This is the time to show off your school nutrition program’s unique accomplishments that parents should hear about. These can range from healthy balanced school meals, to farm to school programs, to nutrition education/wellness programs, to alternative ways of serving meals or any other success story that may be relevant for parents. SNA will review the information and may publish it on the Tray Talk website or in other SNA materials.

Submit your success story here
