Between preparing delicious food, adhering to strict nutrition standards, navigating student food allergies, and offering service with a smile, Treynor CSD nutrition professionals have a lot on their plate. To celebrate their hard work and commitment, Treynor Schools will celebrate School Lunch Hero Day on Friday, May 2nd. This day, celebrated annually since 2013, was designated by The School Nutrition Association and Jarrett Krosoczka, author of the “Lunch Lady” graphic novel series. School Lunch Hero Day provides an opportunity for parents, students, school staff and communities to thank those who provide healthy meals to nearly 30 million of America’s students each school day.
All across the school district, school nutrition professionals will be honored and recognized by students, school staff, parents, and the community on Friday, May 2, 2025. “School nutrition employees must balance many roles and follow numerous federal, state and local regulations to ensure safe and healthy meals are available in schools. School Lunch Hero Day provides the opportunity for the community to thank these hardworking heroes for their dedication to fueling our students for success,” said Mandy Vincent, School Nutrition Director.
Federal nutrition standards ensure that school cafeterias always offer low-fat or fat-free milk, fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean protein. School meals also meet limits on calories, sodium and unhealthy fats. The importance and nutritional value of school meals are well documented. For many children, school lunch is the most important and nutrient-rich meal of their day.

The School Nutrition Association (SNA) is a national, non-profit professional organization representing 50,000 school nutrition professionals across the country. Founded in 1946, SNA and its members are dedicated to making healthy school meals and nutrition education available to all students.

Congratulations to Mandy Vincent for being named Iowa Food Service Director of the Year. She was surprised with the award on Wednesday, April 23, 2025 by her food service staff and Superintendent Beyenhof. This award is more noteworthy due to the fact that her nomination was submitted by her staff. Mandy responded to this award by saying "I am still in awe and in shock that they did all this, and most of all, I won it. I have the best girls and I love being a Cardinal. I am so grateful that my path has lead me to Treynor. Most of all the wonderful ladies and friends I have gained in my life."
