Thank you to everyone who submitted a photo for the 2019 Show Us Your Tray Photo Contest! We received over 250 submissions from school districts across the nation showing us how they creatively use USDA Foods. This year, we created four different categories to highlight USDA Foods across all food groups. The competition was tough but everyone should be proud of the effort they put into making school meals healthy, kid-approved, and delicious. Check out the winners and honorable mentions of the 2019 Show Us Your Tray Contest!

This report summarizes what was learned and offers recommendations for how a national survey of the reasons for nonparticipation in the FSP should be designed and fielded.
