relationships with students and showing them their care through the meals they
serve; and
Whereas, school nutrition professionals teach kids how to select a complete
meal, encourage them to take fruits and vegetables, and teach kids healthy eating
habits that last a lifetime; and
Whereas, the service and environment that school nutrition professionals
provide to students is the closest part of the school day students have to their home

dedication to the well-being of Wisconsin[s students often go underappreciated;
now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the senate, the assembly concurring, That the members of
the Wisconsin Legislature recognize April 28 to May 2, 2025, as School Nutrition
Professionals Appreciation Week; and, be it further
Resolved, That the legislature calls upon the people of Wisconsin to express
their honor, affirmation, love, respect, and gratitude to school nutrition
professionals everywhere; and, be it further
Resolved, That the senate chief clerk shall transmit copies of this resolution
to the governor of Wisconsin.
