Does the thought of celebrating National S’mores Day bring a
smile to your face? Do you have recipes at the ready for National Soup Month?
Do you have plans for the birthdays of Mickey Mouse, Carter G. Woodson, Jim
Henson or Fanny Jackson Coppin? Now is your chance to commemorate these unique
celebrations (and many, many more!) with the first six months of SNA’s recently
published 2020-21 Promotional Calendar!
This helpful and free member benefit is packed with fun holidays
and events to provide inspiration for your operation. Knowing that the upcoming
school year will look different, these ideas and events will provide a little
normalcy and inject excitement into what may be a difficult situation for
students, school nutrition staff, teachers and school administrators.
Brought to you by the editorial staff of School Nutrition magazine, the calendar
includes monthlong, weeklong/multi-day and single-day events—and additional
details and ideas for many of the entries. While you’ll see some old favorites
like National Talk Like a Pirate Day and Free Speech Week, this year’s calendar
is packed with even more multicultural and inclusive celebrations, events and
commemorations including Jesse Owen’s Birthday (September 12), Indigenous
People’s Day (October 12), Carter G. Woodson’s Birthday (December 19) and
National Popcorn Day (January 19).
Now more than ever it’s important to smile and cultivate a
little fun—so here is some inspiration to get your creative juices flowing! You
can access the first six months—August 2020 through January 2021—today!
