Happy National Sandwich Day! 🥪 A sandwich can be so much more than what's between two slices of bread! Pair whole grains, lean protein, fresh veggies, and a serving of fruit and milk for a lunch that helps students stay fueled and ready to learn.

What's a student-favorite sandwich on your school lunch menu? Tell us below!

🌟 OSNA Board Member Spotlight: Jordan Haas! Jordan is the Director of Nutrition Services at Hood River County School District and our SNA of Oregon President-Elect! 💜🍎

With 12 years in school nutrition, Jordan brings experience, enthusiasm and fresh ideas to the OSNA Board!

💬 When asked about her role as President-Elect, Jordan shared:
"As President-Elect, I help plan our professional development offerings, including annual conference. We're in an interesting year of change with shifting the timing of national conference and expanding the spring Director's Conference. It's been fun to think through a fresh take on these opportunities for our members."

💬 And her favorite thing about OSNA?
"My favorite thing is the sense of community on the board, plus the national professional development opportunities that come with leadership like getting the opportunity to attend the SNA National Leadership Conference and Legislative Action Conference. It's been great connecting with school nutrition leaders from across our state and the country."

🍽️ Fun fact: Jordan's favorite school lunch is chili and a cinnamon roll—a true '90s throwback in her district!

Thank you, Jordan, for your leadership and dedication to Oregon's school nutrition community! 💜
