March 12 is National Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Day

March 12th, 2025

March 12th is National Registered Dietitian Day. We are fortunate to have two RDs on our team, Director Karly Wasung, and Nutrition Education and Training Supervisor Aleeza Hendershot. 

 

Registered Dietitians bring enormous expertise to their jobs, and are key to planning menus that are both tasty and nutritious, conforming to the regulations for school meals set by the USDA. Our skilled RDs ensure that our meals are protein-rich and low in fat and sodium. This can involve developing new recipes, collaborating with other school nutrition professionals to share ideas, and balancing the very diverse tastes and preferences of thousands of students and parents.

 

We’re grateful for Karly and Aleeza and all of the dedicated RDs working in school nutrition. Be sure to send them a big thanks.
