After a hugely successful first year ‘Vote for School Lunch’ is returning as SNA’s 2007 National School Lunch Week celebration.

‘Vote for School Lunch’ is a chance for the nation’s students to vote on their favorite lunch entrees.

5 brand new entrée choices have been transformed into election candidates based on research and feedback from students and SNA members. They will be crisscrossing the nation campaigning for votes from the nation’s students.

Voting will take place at www.VoteForSchoolLunch.org and the site will be available from June 15, 2006. Voting will also take place in classrooms and cafeteria across the country. See the Vote Toolkit for paper ballots and instructions.

The official voting period is from August 1 until the end of National School Lunch Week on October 19 and the winner will be announced on Monday October 22, 2007.

SNA will be promoting the 5 candidates to students, parents and the media, and helping them to understand the benefits of eating lunch on the National School Lunch Program.

As always, it is you, our members who determine the success of NSLW – so get to know the candidates and get on the campaign trail!
