2025 Senate Joint Resolution 23
ENROLLED JOINT RESOLUTION
Relating to: proclaiming the week of April 28 to May 2, 2025, as School Nutrition Professionals
Appreciation Week.
Whereas, school nutrition professionals are highly skilled professionals with a wide array of
duties that support students in all aspects of education, including preparing and serving food,
complying with federal regulations, and managing the dietary restrictions of students; and
Whereas, school meals are an integral part of a school day, and school nutrition professionals
care deeply about the foods that students eat, work to procure locally sourced foods when possible,
and spend significant time preparing menus to make sure that students have the nutritious foods they
need to learn and grow; and
Whereas, school nutrition professionals care deeply about and are committed to the health and
well-being of students across Wisconsin, forming special 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 life and can be the most comforting
aspect of the school day that students have; and
Whereas, school nutrition professionals work in a fast-paced, labor-intensive environment that
is physically and emotionally taxing, and their commitment and 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.
