and not only provide a cleaner label experience in your cafeteria, but end end-game goals of culinary creations inspired by staff! LEARN Want to make your ordering and inventory easier this year? Our schools did and so Team Pisanick jumped into action. We partnered with our favorite tech geek Chip Gregory Digital Solutions Specialist at Gordon Food Service to help create custom guides to help clients seamlessly integrate their processes for online ordering. Using our menu software platforms and some conversations with our logistical partners, we were able to SAVE TIME and INCREASE EFFICIENCY for our clients. “Technology saves minutes that add up to hours. Technology makes sense that can add up to dollars.” - Chip Gregory This “steal this idea” moment was too good not to share! If there’s one thing school nutrition has taught us, it’s that there’s always more to learn. Each school year brings its own surprises—updated regulations, emerging food trends, and new opportunities to sharpen our skills. It’s that constant change and growth that make this work so exciting. There are so many great learning tools right at your fingertips. Institute of Child Nutrition (ICN) has an amazing
online library of training. From beginner-friendly introductions to advanced, specialized topics, there’s something for everyone— whether you’re brand new to school nutrition or have years of experience. INNOVATE Inspiring your school nutrition team to grow begins with providing opportunities that spark their skills and expand their knowledge. Look for events and experiences in your area that can energize and motivate your team. Make the most of the resources and tools available to you, and set aside time outside of the kitchen to encourage learning, connection, and professional growth. One of our favorite events of the year is our Innovation Academy 2025 - an interactive experience where we partner with vendors and distributors to host a vendor show alongside professional development sessions for every attendee. From school nutrition staff to food service directors, participants have the opportunity to build their skills, gain valuable knowledge, and explore the latest products from the vendors they work with. We launched this event with the goal of equipping school nutrition professionals with the tools and confidence they need to start each school year strong.
