Slow Food's Webinar: Your Role as a Stakeholder in School Wellness

Morning Farm to School Supporters!

I'm passing along details for an upcoming webinar from Slow Food called Your Role as a Stakeholder in School Wellness on September 10^th at 4:00 pm. This looks like a great opportunity to learn more about how to get involved with your school's wellness policy!

Here's more information from their website: 

"Did you know a Local School Wellness Policy is required by the USDA for school districts and other educational agencies who are participating in the National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs? Policy that is written and implemented at the district level has broad implications for transforming food, health, and environmental systems for school communities, neighborhoods, and cities. A Local School Wellness Policy Committee can instill policies to improve academic and wellness outcomes while ensuring there is equitable distribution of resources and infrastructure across the district.

Whether you're a student, a parent, a school district employee, on a foodservice and nutrition team, a community partner, or an elected official there's a place for your voice in the school wellness process. Explore how your role within the school district, in the community or as a partner can help create a customized wellness policy that will benefit people and the planet. Join school wellness policy experts to determine your next steps as an internal or external stakeholder to establish, participate, and implement policies"

Best,

Megan
