March California Voices
March 25, 2025
Foodies, chefs and parents are taking to social media to share how School Food Professionals are transforming school food for the better and supporting student success across California. Here’s what they’ve been saying.
Teacher Nura Sharif
When Nura’s son came home from school to share his love for his cafeteria’s new build-your-own salad bar, she was shocked. He’d never liked vegetables that much. She’s grateful for the School Food Professionals introducing kids to new flavors while still giving them the autonomy to choose what they like.
Mom Hannah Williams
Ever cooked for four kids? Hannah has, and that’s why she has so much respect for the School Food Professionals cooking for thousands. Not only are they cooking at scale, they’re incorporating healthy ingredients, navigating allergies and dietary restrictions and sourcing local produce.
Cookbook Author Remy Morimoto Park
Remy is happy to see that School Food Professionals are designing menus that accommodate a wide variety of preferences and dietary restrictions. It takes skill, creativity and passion to plan and cook meals for so many different palates!
Teacher Gabby Roma
Gabby, an elementary school teacher, knows that food gives kids the energy they need to focus on learning. By cooking food that’s both good and good for you, School Food Professionals are helping set Gabby’s students up for success.
Foodie Victoria Tschopp
When Victoria was a student, there was little variety in the meals her school offered. Now, she’s thrilled students have access to a diverse range of meals that provide the building blocks that growing minds and bodies need.
