Thanks to all who joined us earlier this month at the Kentucky School Nutrition Association conference. It was great to connect and learn alongside school nutrition professionals from across the state. We could not do the work that we do without you!
During “Marketing Your School Nutrition Program”, we discussed how critical it is to market your programs, but we know it can be difficult to balance with other competing priorities. Participants learned about various DIY strategies and tools to market their programs to students, parents and caregivers, including social media, engaging the press, promotional events and theme days. We heard from many districts that are working to engage students and parents as they promote free school meals.

We also presented on best practices in farm to school in partnership with the Kentucky Farm to School Network. For more farm to school resources, join the Kentucky Farm to School Network.
