Thanks to our friends at the Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota who sent us these photos of their healthy meals on our tray mats!

In 2009, Learning ZoneXpress and MSNA – MN School Nutrition Association partnered with several other vendors to bring about the first-ever EXTREME CAFETERIA MAKEOVER! The winner of this $70,000.00 makeover was Glenville-Emmons High School. Read “How It All Began“.

Recently, at the national SNA’s (School Nutrition Assoc.) annual conference, our Extreme Cafeteria Makeover was highlighted in their “tournament of champions”. 

Accordingly, SNA’s April School Nutrition Magazine mentions: “The Minnesota School Nutrition Association coordinated the first ‘Extreme Cafeteria Makeover,’ bringing together dozens of local and national vendor partners donating equipment, signage, expertise, uniforms and more to overhaul a small district’s cafeteria.”

Extreme Cafeteria Makeover was designed as “A National showcase for cutting edge school nutrition solutions feeding bodies and minds…fueling our future.”

At Learning ZoneXpress we continue to do just that by offering  nutrition education products  to keep our children  healthy!
