Feeding children to fuel their minds is what motivates Erin Taff to be one of the child nutrition heroes in South Brown County USD 430.
“As with many districts, the meals some of our students receive at school may be the only things they get to eat that day,” she said. “For me, it is all about the kids. We try hard as a team to not only feed their bellies but to feed their souls with love and compassion each and every day.”
As the largest federal conference aimed at improving the quality and taste of school meals, the Healthy Meals Incentive (HMI) Summit was attended this past fall by hundreds of school nutrition professionals from across the U.S. The Kansas contingent included food service staff members from two school districts.
In a competition that pits eight states against each other to help celebrate local produce, support local agriculture and recognize the importance of healthy eating, Kansas received fifth place and won two top prizes.
