School Lunch Hero Day is on Friday, May 3rd! It’s a great opportunity to celebrate the dining staff at your site, whether you have 1 dining staff member or a whole team. Help us Share the Love!
Your dining staff member is part of your team and work hard every day to nourish the students at your school. We would love to see some participation this year by celebrating dining staff through acts of gratitude!
Please encourage your teachers or clubs to have students thank your dining staff throughout the whole week, but especially on Friday, April 3.

If you are a teacher, parent, or site staff that would like to do a larger effort to thank your dining staff, you are welcome to do so! Example. Ask the Dining Staff for permission to take a photo of them, print it out to paste onto poster paper and have multiple classes sign it with thank you notes. (If this happens, please let me know at robinsonk2@sfusd.edu, I would love photos, videos, or to even stop by to see it!)
Thank you in advance for anyone who chooses to participate in sharing the love and gratitude with our wonderful dining team that spans across the district! |

Collaborating Across Bay Area Districts |
|
|---|
|
|
Recently SFUSD Student Nutrition Services gathered school food professionals from neighboring Bay Area School Districts and Community Based Organizations. Our goal —to improve our training methods focusing on the inclusion of folks of different learning abilities, technology barriers, language differences, and various other factors that present challenges in training. Making training more accessible for dining staff and across disciplines can only improve the student dining experience.
Working collaboratively is at the heart of School Food and it was a pleasure learning with our fellow school food professionals.
