In 1962, President John F. Kennedy created National School Lunch Week (NSLW) to promote the importance of a healthy school lunch in a child’s life and the impact it has inside and outside of the classroom. 🍴
This week, we offer special thanks to our School Nutrition staff who work hard daily to ensure our students are fueled for school! Level Up With School Lunch! 🎮⬆
