NCSD Receives Healthy Meals Incentives Recognition Award

Lunch Trailblazer award badge.
 

Awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) in collaboration with Action for Healthy Kids (AFHK), NCSD received the Lunch Trailblazer Award. 

Lunch Trailblazer Award winners improved the nutritional quality of school lunches by meeting weekly sodium guidelines and implementing student engagement and/or nutrition education.

As an award recipient, we are also receiving national and local recognition and travel stipends to attend a national Healthy Meals Summit.

AFHK is recognizing school districts to spotlight innovative practices, student and community engagement activities, and strategies schools have used to provide meals that are consistent with the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans – all as part of a cooperative agreement to develop and implement the USDA FNS’s Healthy Meals Incentives Initiative. Learn more about the Healthy Meals Incentives at www.healthymealsincentives.org.

Healthy school meals are an essential part of the school environment and a proven tool for improving a child’s health, growth, development, and educational outcomes. AFHK and USDA are committed to working together to strengthen school meals and investment in a bright future for our children.
