Between games, we’ll keep the excitement going with trivia questions to challenge your knowledge on everything school nutrition. Answer correctly to earn raffle tickets.

The Best Ways to Start Your Days

Take in the morning beauty of the Grand View property on a guided walk or run led by our very own Mike DeRosia, SNIP Co-chair, and Alex Gaustad from Vader & Landgraf. Whether you’re up for a brisk run or a leisurely stroll, enjoy the vibrant colors and fresh air while connecting with colleagues and nature. It’s the perfect way to start your day.

There’s nothing like starting your morning with a little sweat sesh. This Friday morning energizer, led by Callie Neumann, Simplot, will leave you feeling strong and sharp for Friday’s SNIP events. Don’t miss movement, motivation, and mindful momentum to kickstart your day!
