Join GSNA as we take a journey through the World of School Nutrition!
The 2025 National School Lunch Week theme is “Taste the World: Your School Lunch Passport!”, and GSNA is ready to kick off the celebration by honoring the outstanding achievements of Georgia’s school nutrition programs during the 2024–2025 school year.
We’ll recognize excellence with award presentations from the Georgia Department of Education School Nutrition Program, including the prestigious 2025 Cafeteria of Excellence Award and 2024–2025 Tray of the Week honors.
In addition to the celebration, we’re offering informative training sessions tailored to both school-level and system-level members—equipping them with tools and inspiration to continue serving award-winning meals to Georgia’s students.
