Welcome to the age of the Digizine! Here are your November Highlights.
NxtGen in a Bog!
Breanna Gustafson and Amanda Venezia spent a day at Ocean Spray to celebrate Farm to School month. They met with grower-owner Adrienne Mollor to learn about the harvest and how cranberries get from their farm to student’s lunch trays.

As I sit snuggled between my son and daughter in our warm bed (while they watch some insufferable preteen show on Netflix), my heart is just so full. I love Thanksgiving. It is my favorite holiday during my favorite season. In New England our foliage has created a kaleidoscope of color. I am in awe of nature and surrounded by the joy of the season. I have absolutely refused to look at the red and green section of the Dollar Tree. Let’s focus on turkey day, folks. I am still pumpkin spicing up my life and not ready to transition to peppermint mocha. I can tell you that I am thankful AF this year. I know we all have many people to be thankful for. Many have contributed to our ability to faithfully serve our students. Well, this is it! It’s Thanksgiving. We made it to November. That in and of itself is a supreme accomplishment. Pat yourselves on the back. We are well into our school year and have defined an entirely new set of parameters in which we now operate. Let’s take a minute and give thanks where it is due. Thank you to school nutrition professionals. Thank you to our students. Thank you to our teachers and staff. Thank you to our administrators. Thank you to the delivery drivers. Thank you to the manufacturers. Thank you to our amazing brokers. Thank you to all the advocates for school nutrition. Thank you to our staff. Thank you to our staff. And then… oh yeah our staff. Thank you for showing up at a
job that maybe pays less than the one down the street. Thank you for smiling. We know that’s not always easy. Thank you for the little extra you did because we were short staffed or someone called out. Thank you for the support. Thank you for feeding children today so I can figure out how we are going to feed them tomorrow, next week, and next month. Thank you for being you each and every day.
This Month! November 19th 2pm EST
Not only am I surrounded by
incredible people every day. I know that our kitchen is just one of many across the country. These kids are beyond lucky for us, right! Thank you everyone. We are thankful for your faithful service. The world is a better place for each of you.
