Congratulations on earning a Healthy Meals Incentives Recognition Award, Saunee Hamlett and team!!
Congratulations on receiving a Healthy Meals Incentives Recognition Award! I want to express my deep appreciation for the hard work and dedication of the school nutrition professionals in your district. They are unsung heroes, and their commitment to providing nourishing meals to our schoolchildren is unwavering.
Approximately 30 million children receive school meals funded by the USDA. School nutrition professionals across the country go above and beyond to ensure children receive nutritious meals and snacks to support their growth and development. Your school nutrition team’s hard work and innovative practices are paving the way for other districts to advance their school meal programs.
USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins’ priorities include improving the health of America’s children, strengthening the nutritional quality of school meals, and promoting efficiency and agricultural prosperity. Your accomplishment aligns with her vision to streamline operations and put farmers first, ensuring that we not only nourish the next generation but also support the backbone of America’s agriculture.
Let’s continue on this journey together, sharing our passion, innovative ideas, and creative strategies to serve healthy and appealing meals in schools. Thank you for your continued efforts and partnership as we work toward a healthier and more prosperous future.
Sincerely,
James C. Miller
