Why Your School Nutrition SOCIAL MEDIA Needs More "WHY"

When it comes to school meals, the story doesn't stop at the tray. In this month's social media feature, Kariss and Rachel remind us that sharing the *why* behind your menu choices is one of the most powerful tools you have. A simple caption explaining why a dish made the menu, or what nutrient it delivers, can transform a school lunch photo into a meaningful connection with your community. It doesn't have to be complicated. Just honest, intentional, and real.
