What this episode covers

Welcome to the Next Up Podcast! For this episode, I traveled to DeSoto County in Mississippi to visit with Alex Hallmark, their Director of Child Nutrition. Throughout the conversation, we discussed a wide range of topics relevant to school nutrition professionals from menu planning to community engagement. As well as some good ol Mississipi folklore having to do with bread crusts and learning how to whistle As an experienced school nutrition director, Alex shares her perspective on the importance of fostering a culture of collaboration and building a strong team. She also discusses her efforts to promote healthy eating habits among students and sourcing high-quality, locally grown foods. Join us as we explore the challenges and opportunities facing school nutrition professionals, and ways for you to stay ahead of the game.
