- 2013 Child Nutrition Summer Conference
Welcome to the 2013 Child Nutrition Summer Conference. We are excited to be hosting this event again in beautiful Corpus Christi. This year’s conference will feature full-day courses that will inform and update conference participants regarding current Child Nutrition Program policies and topics.
Child Nutrition Programs in Texas public schools are a critical component of the state education system. A healthy child is better able to concentrate in the classroom and is more likely to perform at a higher cognitive level. Your role in ensuring the nutritional well-being of students in schools contributes to the overall education of the whole child. In order to continue providing students with quality child nutrition services, it is important to stay up-to-date with local, state, and federal policies, and to stay well-informed of current research in the field.
Several informative and relevant courses led by experts in the industry have been scheduled for participants this year. We hope you enjoy the conference and leave here well armed with information to continue positively impacting students’ educational experiences at your home schools.
Once again, welcome to the 2013 Child Nutrition Summer Conference and best wishes for a great event!
