SUPER SCHOOL AWARD (National School Lunch Week)
Each year, FSNA honors members who have successfully promoted the school foodservice nutrition program during National School Lunch Week with the Super School Award. It recognizes a school center (elementary and secondary) for their outstanding promotional activities during NSLW.
Who May Apply Foodservice Employee/Manager section members of SNA and FSNA (you must be a member of both) may apply for this award. A Foodservice Employee/Manager section member is one who is assigned to one school or a central kitchen that serves more than one school.
Even if you have submitted an award in the past, do not start until you have read the “Who May Apply” and “Selection Procedure” sections. This is important as the required award process has changed from previous years.
Selection Procedure The application must be submitted as a Microsoft Word document. The award must be submitted as a Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation. Both must be uploaded to the FSNA Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/request/9j8speH4RWl4mybXl7NR on or before April 15. The link is also available on the FSNA website, www.floridaschoolnutrition.org, on the Scholarships & Awards webpage. A maximum of 15 pictures will be accepted (clipart is not considered a picture).
Awards will be based on entries of both elementary and secondary schools for National School Lunch Week (October 9-13, 2017), “School Lunch: Recipes for Success”, activities.
