Our speakers will share powerful, stories that explore the many dimensions of what culturally relevant food can mean in schools, including implementing halal meal programs to meet students' needs, weaving personal cultural foodways into the lunch line to celebrate diversity, and an early childhood perspective on honoring a wide array of family cultures through a shared love of food.

Jackie Reno, Executive Director, The Janet S Munt Family Room, Burlington, VT
