march madness

​Do you follow the NCAA Basketball tourney? I do.  I love the season leading up to Selection Sunday, the anticipation of seeding, the bracketology, the analysis, the strategies and play by play coverage leading up to each and every tip off.  What I love most is the Underdog or Cinderella Teams.  The ones who no one thinks have a chance of getting beyond the first round; the unexpected teams who win in spite of everyone writing them off.  Yes, that is one of the thrills of the tournament. 
As March Madness tips off this very week, let’s cheer on the underdogs in school nutrition.  The hungry students who rely on school meals, the small school who needs assistance to get through the Administrative Review, the school who has limited funding for crucial enrichment and resources, among others…
Game time!
