Best of #SNIC19: Creative Ways to Engage Your School Community



May 8, 2019


Everyone knows that school nutrition success hinges on integration throughout the school community. But there can be a wide gap between knowing this and making it happen! Austin ISD, our “host” school district, offers a terrific model for leveraging relationships with teachers and administrators to develop a wide variety of engagement activities. From classroom demos to student chef competitions, kids regularly get a “taste” of school nutrition far beyond the cafeteria walls. As presented at #SNIC19, come let Austin’s innovations serve as your inspiration.

Successful completion of the webinar and quiz is awarded 1 SNA CEU.
