This award is for School Nutrition Managers, who have conducted a year-long project which has positively impacted their school nutrition program.

At Green Park, Jeanna worked with the second graders, explaining MyPlate (see their Website at http://www.choosemyplate.gov/) with a focus on Fruits and Vegetables. She conducted taste tests to help students explore new flavors while promoting new salads into the lunch program. This helped student’s better understand the new Fruit & Vegetable requirements as well. Quistberg may travel to the National Convention in Boston to receive her award.
